You know what ego stands for: Edging Out God!

We must motivate ourselves to do our very best, and by our example lead others to do their best as well.

If you wish to enrich days, plant flowers; If you wish to enrich years, plant trees; If you wish to enrich Eternity, plant ideals in the lives of others.

In most cases we perform better when we're busy than when we're not busy. When we're slow, our mind wanders. We're not as attentive to our business. When we're on the firing line, we're sharper. We move more quickly and get the job done right.

How do you identify someone who needs encouragement? That person is breathing.

To take advantage of unexpected opportunities, we must leave ourselves available.

Nearly every moment of every day we have the opportunity to give something to someone else—our time, our love, our resources. I have always found more joy in giving when I did not expect anything in return.
