Our friends should be companions who inspire us, who help us rise to our best.

Learning to endure times of disappointment, suffering, and sorrow is part of our on-the-job training. These experiences, while often difficult to bear at the time, are precisely the kinds of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our character, and increase our compassion for others.

I give thanks to my Creator for this wonderful life where each of us has the opportunity to learn lessons we could not fully comprehend by any other means.

Every home is a house of learning either for good or otherwise.

There is no real joy that does not involve self-denial and self-discipline

Honesty is of God and dishonesty of the devil; the devil was a liar from the beginning.

Integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences.
