• One reason we are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business, when all that legitimately concerns us is today.

There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we are too busy.

• A wife, if she is very generous, may allow that her husband lives up to perhaps eighty percent of her expectations. There is always the other twenty percent that she would like to change, and she may chip away at it for the whole of their married life without reducing it by very much. She may, on the other hand, simply decide to enjoy the eighty percent, and both of them will be happy.
