Never blame what you are on what someone else is.
There is no greater blessing than a family hand that lifts you from a fall; but there is not lower curse than a family hand that strikes you when you're down.
Lies are like garbage that you can't throw away. They clutter your life, foul your air, and make living unbearable.
Reputation is generally proof of how little one knows about a person.
The most staunchly determined are but quitters of the right things.
A cheerful demeanor makes brighter the day; as the sun, chasing darkness and sorrow away.
