More quotes by Alice Hegan Rice
even though disease and sorrow are all about us, health and happiness are the normal state of man.
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
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
The hardest grief is often that which leaves no trace.
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
Joy is at its keenest when contrasted with sorrow, courage at its height when it follows fear, faith at its noblest when it grows from doubt.
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
When one has a famishing thirst for happiness, one is apt to gulp down diversions wherever they are offered.
Alice Hegan Rice
There is an invariable law that the only way to keep the real things of life is by sharing them or giving them away.
Alice Hegan Rice
happiness is a duty, not only because of its effect upon us but because of its influence upon others.
Alice Hegan Rice
What can people not accomplish if they will but master the secret of steadfast perseverance.
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.
Alice Hegan Rice
Taking friendships for granted is one of the surest ways of ending them. Unless nourished, they tend to wither and die. Unless we earnestly desire its continuance we should never start a friendship any more than we would a love affair.
Alice Hegan Rice
Mrs. Wiggs was a philosopher, and the sum and substance of her philosophy lay in keeping the dust off her rose-colored spectacles.
Alice Hegan Rice
Life is made up of desires that seem big and vital one minute, and little and absurd the next. I guess we get what's best for us in the end.
Alice Hegan Rice
any pursuit of happiness contrary to the common good is doomed to failure.
Alice Hegan Rice
I can think of no habit, kept up through the years, that binds a married couple more than that of reading good books together. Domestic problems and personal problems are for the time forgotten, and an intellectual intimacy is established that can be maintained in few other ways.
Alice Hegan Rice
Yer feelin's is like ras'berry vinegar: if you're skeered to use 'em an' keep on savin' 'em, first thing you know they've done 'vaporated!
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
The fact that beauty is at one and the same time without cost and above price, robs it of the curse of possessiveness.
