Realize that the privilege to work is a gift. Love of work is success. Be thankful that every morning that you get up that you have some thing that must be done (whether you like it or not).

We should think seriously before we slam doors, before we burn bridges, before we saw off the limb on which we find ourselves sitting.

One of the most fruitless, irritating wastes in the world is arguing-the contentious, endless kind of arguing that is akin to quarreling, and causes feuding in families and among friends, and leaves resentful feeling in homes, in hearts, in businesses and professions, and in all kinds of gatherings in public and private places, and in all relationships of life-and with so little that it ever seems to settle!

There never was a tonic that would cure more social ailments than a healthy, happy home. There never was a greater source of social stability than an affectionate and understanding family. There never was a better way of helping children to happiness than the close confidence of wise and loving and responsible parents.

May we never let the things we can't have or don't have or shouldn't have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.

Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.

Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.
