Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what the task may be. This is a habit followed by all successful people since the beginning of time. Therefore I saith the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.

The greatest secret in the world is that you only have to be a small measurable amount better than mediocrity ...and you've got it made.

Wealth is good when it brings joy to others.

You learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of hope.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

I will persist until I succeed. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
