“Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.”

You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

Be the positive impact on the lives of others.

It’s your life; you don’t need someone’s permission to live the life you want. Be brave to live from your heart.

When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.

Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.

Sometimes you have to lose all you have to find out who you truly are.

Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.

Make improvements, not excuses. Seek respect, not attention.

Always remember people who have helped you along the way, and don’t forget to lift someone up.

When one has a grateful heart, life is so beautiful.

Do not set aside your happiness. Do not wait to be happy in the future. The best time to be happy is always now.

Great leaders create more leaders, not followers.

Failure is a bend in the road, not the end of the road. Learn from failure and keep moving forward.

Don’t wait for things to happen. Make them happen.

Suffering is part of the human condition, and it comes to us all. The key is how we react to it, either turning away from God in anger and bitterness or growing closer to Him in trust and confidence.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Anger is as sacred and valid as any other emotion.

And, even yet, I dare not let it languish, Dare not indulge in memory’s rapturous pain; Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish, How could I seek the empty world again?

If Zizou kept his temper, he would not be the genius that he is.

I know how bad Albany is. I know it better than most. I understand why people are angry. I’m angry. The question is going to be, how do you change Albany, what is the plan for change, and then how do you actually get it done?

Leadership is not bullying and leadership is not aggression. Leadership is the expectation that you can use your voice for good. That you can make the world a better place.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
