“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.”

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.

Remember that creating a successful marriage is like farming: you have to start over again every morning.

Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Make it a positive and constructive one.

A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra effort that separates the winner from the one in second place.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.

No matter how hard you hug your money, it never hugs back.

Every person that you meet knows something you don’t; learn from them.

Improve your performance by improving your attitude.

Remember that no time is ever wasted that makes two people better friends.

Live and learn and pass it on.

Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness.

Dishonesty is like a boomerang. About the time you think all is well, it hits you in the back of the head.

Become the kind of person who brightens a room just by entering it.

Life doesn’t come with an instruction book; that’s why we have fathers.

The Great Architect of the universe built it of good firm stuff.

Poetry is a counterfeit creation, and makes things that are not, as though they were.

Grow old with me. The best is yet to be. The last of life for which the first was made.

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

Intellectual activity is a danger to the building of character.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

We are built to be happy, strong and healthy. I fear not to live. We have everything to live up to our dreams. You have everything to achieve that, and in a very short period of time you can get all the tools to manifest who you want to be.

Nothing speaks like results. If you want to build the kind of credibility that connects with people, then deliver results before you deliver a message. Get out and do what you advise others to do. Communicate from experience.
