“Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.”

Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.

Encourage me, and I will not forget you.

Once trust is tarnished, it is hard to restore it to its original glow.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you?’

A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.

‘If only’ is the excuse of the loser; ‘I can’ is the affirmation of the winner.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

The winner asks, “May I help?” The loser asks, “Do you expect me to do that?”

Love is more than a noun-it is a verb; it is more than a feeling-it is caring, sharing, helping, sacrificing.

Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people; to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.

Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement.

Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation; losers, to give in the frustration; winners, to come through with determination.

Commend while others are criticizing, persist while others are quitting.

To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

The wonder is, not that the field of stars is so vast, but that man has measured it.

Money poisons you when you’ve got it, and starves you when you haven’t.

I’d rather be disappointed by the truth than satisfied with a lie.

Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself.

I could hear my heartbreak. And instead of screaming, I listened.

I have felt warmth in lies, and coldness in truth. This is how I know that morality, transcends the physicality of temperatures.

No, I’m not one to go in pursuit of happiness. It is common knowledge, is it not? That what is chased after will run.
