More quotes by Alice Hegan Rice
Some folks goes right under when trouble comes, but I carry mine fur an' easy.
Alice Hegan Rice
Just as a pool of water cannot reflect the sky overhead when it is restless and disturbed, so we can never get a perfect vision of the Divine, and show it to others when we are disturbed with human thoughts and personal problems. It is only when we are quite still and receptive that God can think His thoughts into us and use us for His purposes.

Alice Hegan Rice
I believe in the immortality of the soul because I cannot conceive of an intelligent First Cause creating human beings through long process of evolution in this world only to destroy them.
Alice Hegan Rice
we sometimes forget the influence of action upon thought. ... Smile, whistle, sing, play the part you want to be until you become the part you play.
Alice Hegan Rice
any pursuit of happiness contrary to the common good is doomed to failure.
Alice Hegan Rice
It is a terrifying as well as hopeful truth that we tend to bring into being in form whatever we fashion in thought.
Alice Hegan Rice
Half of our sorrows come from setting exalted standards for people and then breaking our hearts when they fail to live up to them.
Alice Hegan Rice
Metaphysicians tell us that it is easier to get the body well than to get the mind to realize its wellness.
Alice Hegan Rice
What can people not accomplish if they will but master the secret of steadfast perseverance.
Alice Hegan Rice
It seems a strange fact that it is almost more important for us to be happy ourselves than to try to make other people happy. By being happy we confer untold benefits upon our fellow men.
Alice Hegan Rice
All the higher forms of life have evolved from some one's ideal of justice, liberty or beauty and the belief that nothing is too good to be true.
Alice Hegan Rice
there ain't no use in dyin' 'fore yer time. Lots of folks is walkin' 'round jes' as dead as they'll ever be.
