At home, be grateful. At work, be appreciative. Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. Appreciation is a gift we give to others.

If we don't invest now in building character into children we will surely invest more tomorrow in trying to repair adults.

Character is the moral strength to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay.

Values are good things only if they are good values.

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

What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

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.
