“Vow to be valiant. Resolve to be radiant. Determine to be dynamic. Strive to be sincere. Aspire to be attuned.”

Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.

There is one thing we can do better than anyone else: we can be ourselves.

A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.

In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.

Man, like the bridge, was designed to carry the load of the moment, not the combined weight of a year at once.

The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.

The greatest ideas, the most profound thoughts, and the most beautiful poetry are born from the womb of silence.

What you believe is more important than what you possess. What you live is more lasting than what you profess. Whom you inspire is more significant than whom you impress.

Success never resides in the world of weak wishes, but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.

We are more than what we do much more than what we accomplish far more than what we possess.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

A success is one who decided to succeed and worked. A failure is one who decided to succeed and wished.
