Good intentions are simply not enough. Our character is defined and our lives are determined not by what we want, say or think, but by what we do.

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

To separate the purpose of a business from the purpose of people who are in the business is, I think, not a good thing.

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for, not so we feel guilty about what we have that others don't, but to be genuinely grateful for our blessings.

Gratitude is not a payment for a kindness but another form of gift.

If we keep treating our most important values as meaningless relics, that's exactly what they'll become.
