Decide to be your best. In the long run the world is going to want and have the best and that might as well be you.

You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals.

Success waits patiently for anyone who has the determination and strength to seize it.

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

Too often the educational value of doing well what is done, however little, is overlooked. One thing well done prepares the mind to do the next thing better. Not how much, but how well, should be the motto. One problem thoroughly understood is of more value than a score poorly mastered.

Whenever your life touches mine, you make me stronger of weaker... there is no escape... people drag others or lift others up.
