Greatest takeaways:

2. "searching for a silver-lining in every dark cloud is far better than seeking a dark lining in every silver cloud."

3. "peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence of God in the midst of our problems."

4. "If you are a person of influence, you need to learn how to deal patiently with different people."

5. "Tenderness and kindness get people to do things that toughness never can."
