You hold in your hand the camel's-hair brush of a painter of Life. You stand before the vast white canvas of Time. The paints are your thoughts, emotions and acts.

The art of work . . . It is going to your work as you go to worship, with a prayer of thankfulness and the aspiration to serve.

It is in identifying yourself with the hopes, dreams, fears and longings of others that you may understand them and help them.

The secret of greatness is simple: do better work than any other man in your field - and keep on doing it.

In gratitude for God's gift of life to us we should share that gift with others. The art of giving encompasses many areas. It is an outgoing, overflowing way of life.

I believe that to pray without ceasing means to think good thoughts without ceasing.

Today's world needs change, alteration, renewal, and corrections of errors. It needs new ideas, new approaches, methods, plans, procedures, and new ways of doing things. Maybe you should think of going-literally or symbolically- to a circus today, where you'll see stunts you never dreamed possible. The novelty and originality there may stimulate what you need more of in this life. Have the daring to take a flight for the idea you believe in!
