Purpose is stronger than object.

A few years ago I lost one of my dearest friends. He died at age 53 - heart attack. David is gone, but he was one of my very special friends. I used to say of David that if I was stuck in a foreign jail somewhere accused unduly and if they would allow me one phone call, I would call David. Why? He would come and get me. That's a friend. Somebody who would come and get you.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.

Life is brief, even at its longest. Whatever you are going to do with your life, get at it. All good will be attacked. All values must be defended. In all areas of the human existence, what we put into this world, we get back from it.

Don't become a victim of yourself. Forget about the thief waiting in the alley; what about the thief in your mind?

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.

Making the most of your life is unusual. That's why you need to develop unusual habits to earn outstanding rewards.
