“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness.

Dishonesty is like a boomerang. About the time you think all is well, it hits you in the back of the head.

Become the kind of person who brightens a room just by entering it.

Life doesn’t come with an instruction book; that’s why we have fathers.

Believe in miracles but don’t depend on them.

Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.

Be the first to say, “Hello”.

Regardless of the situation, react with class.

Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.

The shortest way to get anywhere is to have good company.

When opportunity knocks, invite it to stay for dinner.

Someone will always be looking at you as an example of how to behave. Don’t let him down.

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.

Earn your success based on service to others, not at the expense of others.

May our adversities make us strong. May our victories make us wise. May our actions make us proud.

Remember that the more you know, the less you fear.

The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.

Let there be no disappointment when obedience keeps you busy in outward tasks. If it sends you to the kitchen, remember that the Lord walks among the pots and pans.

Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back.

Better to be an optimist who gets disappointed than a pessimist who has no hope.

Most things disappoint till you look deeper.

Pessimism is playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child’s play.

At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.

It’ll be great. Of course I was disappointed last year. But I’ll get my revenge.
