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

Wealth is good when it brings joy to others.

Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck.

The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement

Today I begin a new life. Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.

I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.
