More quotes by Joseph Cook
It is the will to be grateful which constitutes gratitude.
Joseph Cook
It is not always the highest talent that thrives best. Mediocrity, with tact, will outweigh talent oftentimes.
Joseph Cook
Narrowness is the mother of unbelief. Obtain a broad outlook if you would agree with God in your philosophy and be able to transmit God's own thought into your life.
Joseph Cook
The Unknown is an ocean. What is conscience? The compass of the Unknown.
Joseph Cook

Joseph Cook
If society will adopt the rule of nature, and justify no marriage without a supreme affection, the evils of marriage without love will be sufficiently cured. Those who marry without the consent of Nature may securely expect trouble.
Joseph Cook

Joseph Cook
So many people glorify and romanticize 'busy.' I do not. I value purpose. I believe in resting in reason and moving in passion. If you’re always busy/moving, you will miss important details. I like the mountain. Still, but when it moves, lands shift and earth quakes.
Joseph Cook
We only begin to realize the value of our possessions when we commence to do good to others with them. No earthly investment pays so large an interest as charity.
Joseph Cook
There is a certain physiognomy in manners.
Joseph Cook
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Joseph Cook
Do you know a book that you are willing to put under your head for a pillow when you lie dying? Very well that is the book you want to study while you are living. There is but one such book in the world.
Joseph Cook
A thinker is a person.
