We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.

If you put good people in bad systems you get bad results. You have to water the flowers you want to grow.

You always reap what you sow; there is no shortcut.

If we spend most of our time concerned about things we cannot truly directly influence, what we can influence will be reduced. If we spend our energies on those things over which we can expect positive results, we will expand our influence.

We do make a difference - one way or the other. We are responsible for the impact of our lives. Whatever we do with whatever we have, we leave behind us a legacy for those who follow.

There's no better way to inform and expand you mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature.

The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.
