“Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.”

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.

The more patient we are, the more understanding we become.

Three enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterday’s mistakes, anxiety over tomorrow’s problems, and ingratitude for today’s blessings.

Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

Raised voices lower esteem. Hot tempers cool friendships. Loose tongues stretch truth. Swelled heads shrink influence. Sharp words dull respect.

If you would be interesting, be interested, if you would be pleased, be pleasing, if you would be loved, be loveable, if you would be helped be helpful.

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.

The essence of life is to care. The beauty of life is to give.

Our greatest challenge-our greatest opportunity-is found in these words: ‘Choose ye this day.’

Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future, challenge the improbable and attain the impossible.

The adventure of life is to learn.

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