Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.

Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.

“Melancholy held me hostage, and the bees built a hive of sadness in my soul.”

I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!

“Reading nurtures the soul, and an enlightened friend brings it solace.”

Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.

The end of life is to be like god, and the soul following god will be like him.
