“Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.”

Remember that just the moment you say, “I give up,” someone else seeing the same situation is saying, “My, what a great opportunity.”

Remember that what’s right isn’t always popular, and what’s popular isn’t always right.

Don’t expect others to listen to your advice and ignore your example.

Remember that almost everything looks better after a good night’s sleep.

Never give up on what you really want to do

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

A friend is someone who knows you and loves you for what you were and who you are, and who also shares your hopes and dreams for who you can become.

Life is slippery. Here, take my hand.

After you’ve work hard to get what you want, take the time to enjoy it.

Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.

People who accomplish big things did small things well.

Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own.

Get your priorities straight. No one ever said on his death bed, ‘Gee, if I’d only spent more time at the office.’

Don’t flaunt your success, but don’t apologize for it either.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they’re already asleep.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece – by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

I finally decided to give music my all. If it didn’t work out and I had to move home, fine. I had to give it 100% first.

I love to think. I once considered taking drugs as an attempt to better understand an altered state of mind; however, I decided not to. I didn’t want to chance ruining the machine.

Waiting for the 100 percent right and certain solution leads to delay, indecision, and an inability to execute.

Decisively engaged?

Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it.

If the staff lacks policy guidance against which to test decisions, their decisions will be random.

Decide that you want it more than you’re afraid of it.
