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
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
happiness is a duty, not only because of its effect upon us but because of its influence upon others.
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
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
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
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
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
When one has a famishing thirst for happiness, one is apt to gulp down diversions wherever they are offered.
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
Somehow, I never feel like good things b'long to me till I pass 'em on to somebody else.
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
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.
Alice Hegan Rice
The hardest grief is often that which leaves no trace.
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.
