My assistants and I often would spend more time planning a practice than the actual practice itself

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

How many of us have conflicts with someone else- and how many of us pray for that person? We have individuals with whom we are competitive, or whom we dislike or have a quarrel with; but very few of us have true enemies in the martial sense. And yet if Lincoln could pray fervently- and contemporary reports indicate he did- for the people who were opposing him, how much more can we do for someone we just find a little irritating?

My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.

It's important to keep trying to do what you think is right no matter how hard it is or how often you fail. Never stop trying

I've never stopped trying to do what's right. I'm not doing it to earn favor with God. I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do.

Never be disagreeable just because you disagree.
