“No matter how old we become, we can acquire knowledge and use it. We can gather wisdom and profit from it. We can grow and progress and improve-and, in the process, strengthen the lives of those within our circle of influence.”

Try a little harder to be a little better.

It is imperative that good people, men and women of principle, be involved in the political process; otherwise we abdicate power to those whose designs are almost entirely selfish.

Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we’ll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.

We seldom get into trouble when we speak softly. It is only when we raise our voices that the sparks fly and tiny molehills become great mountains of contention.

You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.

Never assume that you can make it alone. You need the help of the Lord. Never hesitate to get on your knees in some private place and speak with Him.

There are four pillars to a happy marriage: respect one another as individuals; (give) soft answers; (practice)financial honesty; (conduct) family prayer.

The course of our lives is not determined by great, awesome decisions. Our direction is set by the little day-to-day choices which chart the track on which we run.

Quiet talk is the language of love. It is the language of peace. It is the language of God.

You are doing the best you can, and that best results in good to yourself and to others. Do not nag yourself with a sense of failure. Get on your knees and ask for the blessings of the Lord;then stand on your feet and do what you are asked to do.

Work will cure your grief. Serve others.

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.

You must ask for God’s help. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again.

That which comes easily departs easily. That which comes of struggle remains.

Resolutely train yourself to attain peace.

Failure makes me work even harder.

Businesses that grow by development and improvement do not die.

My ambition is always to get better and better.

I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.

Don’t wish it was easier wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom.

Embrace bad news to learn where you need the most improvement.

Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.
