All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath--so what does that make today worth?

I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to achieving your dreams.

Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success.

Never will I pray for the material things of the world. I am not calling to a servant to bring me food. I am not ordering an innkeeper to provide me with room. Never will I seek delivery of gold, love, good health, petty victories, fame, success, or happiness. Only for guidance will I pray, that I may be shown the way to acquire these things, and my prayer will always be answered.

I will work when failures seek rest.
