I will keep a smile on my face and in my heart even when it hurts today.

Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. I will act now.

I shall live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.

Never hide behind busy work. It takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed.

The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure.

God will never give you any problems that he thinks you can't solve.

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.
