It isn't the absence of conscience or values that prevents us from being all we should be, it is simply the lack of moral courage.

One problem with gratitude is that it competes with the sense of pride, self-reliance and accomplishment we have. We want to think what we have is the result of our efforts rather than the gifts, good turns and opportunities provided us by others.

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

Don't confuse fun with fulfillment, or pleasure with happiness.

The best way to show true gratitude for all our blessings is to be genuinely happy.

Gratefulness is a payment everyone can afford.

People who fight fire with fire end up with only the ashes of their own integrity.
