Some people act as if it were demeaning to their manhood to wish to be well-read but you can no more be a healthy person mentally without reading substantial books than you can be a vigorous person physically without eating solid food. Books should be chosen, not for their freedom from evil, but for their possession of good. Dr. Johnson said: "Whilst you stand deliberating which book your son shall read first, another boy has read both."

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

These people get to the top because they have to, because inside them burns a dream too big, too ever present, too demanding to be denied.

We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them; our bodies take charge and do them for us.

What happens inside always appears outside.

Everything that's really worthwhile in life came to us free - our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends and country.

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.[so we can see the bright side of everything]
