Envy, like the worm, is always attracted to the fairest apple

Green grass grows where dry desert ends.

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.

No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!

I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

With no goals, no priorities, no life strategy of our own, we drift with the herd through an endless meadow of mediocrity, unable to break loose, to achieve even a small part of the dreams we once cherished.

Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.
