Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. Let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! Let others give up, but not you! For you know in whom you believe and you know that He is always able. Now, that's you!

The most valuable form of discipline is the one that you impose upon yourself.

Education must precede motivation.

Count the cost first. Don’t pay too big a price for pursuing minor values.

Don't set your goals too low. If you don't need much, you won't become much.

The greatest change to go from average to fortune is not so much an increase in knowledge, but rather, a change in our emotions about achieving our goals.

If you talk to your children, you can help them keep their lives together. If you talk to them skillfully, you can help them to build future dreams.
