Our obligation to others and a gift to ourselves is to acknowledge and authentically express genuine appreciation for courtesies, caring and concern others have given us.

A person of character seeks true happiness in living a life of purpose and meaning, placing a higher value on significance than success.

Success comes in cans. Failures comes in can'ts.

When you compete with someone as good or better than you, you may not always win, but you never lose.

Happiness is the peace of mind that comes from feeling that I am living a worthy life in the company of people I love and in the service of something bigger than myself.

What a person says and does in ordinary moments when when no one is looking reveals more about true character than grand actions taken while in the spotlight. Our true character is revealed by normal, consistent, everyday attitudes and behavior, not by self-conscious words or deeds or rare acts of moral courage.

No word makes me happier than the word "daddy" when it's directed to me.
