Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.

The best motivating is self-motivating. The guy says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on. "What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life."

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

Until we have finally accepted the fact that there is nothing we can do to change the past, our feelings of regret and remorse and bitterness will prevent us from designing a better future with the opportunity that is before us today.

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

Real wisdom is simple. Living life rightly does not have to be a complicated challenge.
