“The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives, who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner.”

I am suggesting that we spend a little less time in idleness, in the fruitless pursuit of watching inane and empty television programs. Time so utilized can be put to better advantage, and the consequences will be wonderful.

Keep your families close together, and love and honor your children.

As you walk the road of life, be careful of your friends. They can make you or break you.

Let us never forget to pray. God lives. He is near. He is real. He is not only aware of us but cares for us. He is our Father. He is accessible to all who will seek Him.

Wit and humor do not reside in slow minds.

A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.

A genius is not born, but is educated and trained.

Mastery is not a function of genius or talent. It is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.

Most people don’t find their creativity. There are more unsung geniuses that don’t even know they have great talent.
