One key to success is demanding more than adequacy, never settling for good enough and always doing a little bit more.

Character is ethical and moral strength. People of good character have the moral awareness and strength to know the good, love the good and do the good.

The key to a better life: Complain less, appreciate more. Whine less, laugh more. Talk less, listen more. Want less, give more. Hate less, love more. Scold less, praise more. Fear less, hope more.

Not everything that is good for you is fun and not everything that is fun is good for you.

Don't sacrifice a good life for a good time.

No leader or organization can achieve breakout growth until it treats, "we've always done it this way" as an opportunity to think anew rather than as a reason to stop thinking. Keep in mind, tradition should be a guide, not a jailer.

The kind of courage that is strengthened or created by concern about what others will think is really a form of fear. Fear of disapproval or dishonor becoming stronger than fear of injury or even death.
