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

You do not live in a vacuum nor can you harvest the better fruits of life without help and ENCOURAGEMENT from others.

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

Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.

Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. 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.

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

The master of a single trade can support a family. The master of seven trades cannot support himself. The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.
