“True holiness consists in doing God's will with a smile”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
“I was coming to serve the Lord and bring in the New Year. He's been good to me and this is where I need to be. I think God wanted me to have the house. It was God's will.”
Tammy Woods
“The word God is a word used to explain things to people with lazy minds. For these people, 'It was God's will' is perfect. It requires nothing on their part. They cannot be blamed for something that was God's doing. True, they pulled the trigger or dropped the bomb, but they did so because it was God's will. Therefore, there is no reason for guilt or shame.”
Bobby W. Miller
“Often the truth spoken with a smile will penetrate the mind and reach the heart; the lesson strikes home without wounding because of the wit in the saying”
Horace
“Preach in the name of God. The learned will smile; ask the learned what they have done for their country. The priests will excommunicate you; say to the priests that you know God better than all of them together do, and that between God and His law you have no need of any intermediary. The people will understand you, and repeat with you: We believe in God the Father, who is Intelligence and Love, Creator and Teacher of Humanity. And in this saying you and the People will conquer.”
Giuseppe Mazzini
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
Dr. Seuss
“If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face or a touch of joy within your heart.Then in living - I have made my mark.”
