You will move in the direction you are facing.

The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.

Already I am smiling in anticipation of the good to come

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining.

If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.

Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance.

I am convinced that the greatest legacy we can leave our children are happy memories: those precious moments so much like pebbles on the beach that are plucked from the white sand and placed in tiny boxes that lay undisturbed on tall shelves until one day they spill out and time repeats itself, with joy and sweet sadness, in the child now an adult.
