Better is dry bread and fidelity therewith, than a house full of Turkish Delight with betrayal.

"Patience can conquer destiny"

"We are all of us in the gutter.
But some of us are looking at the stars."
--Oscar Wilde

"Many things--such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly--are done worst when we try hardest to do them."

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

This one's actually from Screwtape Proposes a Toast: "Your career is before you. Hell expects and demands that it should be-- as Mine was-- one of unbroken success. If it is not, you know what awaits you."

Something worse than Hell?
Take my voice and let me sing always only for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from thee.
Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.
Sylvia Lee

"...If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and keep before me the life of Him by whose example and help I trust to obtain the answer to my prayer, Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen."
---Midshipman's Prayer
