“When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails”

Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.

Spend your life lifting people up, not putting them down.

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.

Life is like a dogsled race. If you ain’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

The underlying principles of strategy are enduring, regardless of technology or the pace of change.

Gazing at you across the table. How is it possible that everything has changed but love has grown stronger? True partnership is filling in each others blanks.

We and we alone have the power to change our lives, and we can choose to do so at any moment.

If you are not the lead dog, your scenery never changes.

Yankees don’t understand that the Southern way of talking is a language of nuance. What we can do in the South is we can take a word and change it just a little bit and make it mean something altogether different.

When your life is changed by Jesus, you are a new creature. God not only changes what you do, He also changes what you want to do.

To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.
