• It need not discourage us if we are full of doubts. Healthy questions keep faith dynamic. In fact, unless we start with doubts we cannot have a deep-rooted faith. One who believes lightly and unthinkingly has not much of a belief. One who has a faith which is not to be shaken has won it through blood and tears-has worked his or her way from doubt to truth as one who reaches a clearing through a thicket of brambles and thorns.

  Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form
  an invincible host against difficulty.

Happiness should be a means of accomplishment, like health, not an end in itself.
