Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best.
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece - by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
Become the kind of person who brightens a room just by entering it.
Be kinder than necessary.
The shortest way to get anywhere is to have good company.
