Alice Hegan Rice
even though disease and sorrow are all about us, health and happiness are the normal state of man.
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
No teaching that is not based on reason can be tolerated by critical minds, but the belief that an accident of blind force produces this highly organized world is far more fantastic than the theory that a Super Intelligence devised its ordered evolution.
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
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
It'll be with me like it was with Uncle Ned's ole ox, I reckon he kep' a-goin' an' a-goin' till he died a-standin' up, an' even then they had to push him over.
Alice Hegan Rice
The fascinating thing about ideals is that no sooner have we gained a desired peak than we find farther and higher peaks beyond. The thrilling adventure never ends.
Alice Hegan Rice
