A caring heart that listens is often more valued than an intelligent mind that talks.

Pretty isn't beauty. Pretty is how you look; Beauty is who you are. Pretty is in the face and body; Beauty is in the heart, mind and soul. Pretty fades; Beauty grows.

The ethical person should do more then he is required to do, and less than he is allowed to.

Leadership is not a matter of authority, it is a matter of influence. A true leader teaches others to understand more, motivates them to be more and inspires them to become more.

The opposite of success is not failure. Unsuccessful efforts are not failures unless they so discourage you that you abandon further efforts to achieve your goal. Even then, the venture or effort may be a failure but you are not. Failure is an event not a character trait.

Failure is much easier to handle if you just think of it as feedback to guide your next effort.

The surest way to escape anxiety and defeat despair is action. Do, don't dwell.
