Advice, Cynthia Heimel
Never judge someone by who he's in love with; judge him by his friends. People fall in love with the most appalling people. Take a cool, appraising glance at his pals.
- Cynthia Heimel
그 사람이 사랑하는 사람으로 판단하지 말고, 그의 친구로 판단하십시오. 사람들은 가장 형편없는 사람들과 사랑에 빠집니다. 침착하고 냉정하게 그의 친구들을 바라보십시오.

Affliction, John Brown
Now let us thank the Eternal Power: convinced
That Heaven but tries our virtue by affliction,—
That oft the cloud which wraps the present hour
Serves but to brighten all our future days.

1914, Konrad Adenauer

- Konrad Adenauer, Cleveland West Parker, January 20, 1966, p. 1. Quoted in the article How We Know We Live in the “Last Days”, in The Watchtower magazine, April 1, 1967.
