Words of encouragement fan the spark of genius into the flame of achievement. Legend tells us that Lincoln's dying mother called her small son to her bedside and whispered, 'Be somebody, Abe'.

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.

Believe! Believe in the limitless supply of God's goodness. The universe is filled with more wonders than you can imagine.

The art of achievement is the art of making life - your life - a masterpiece.

Happiness does not depend upon a full pocketbook, but upon a mind full of rich thoughts and a heart full of rich emotions.

Prayer is thinking and thanking. It is thinking of our many blessings and accepting them with a thankful spirit.

Champion the right to be yourself; dare to be different and to set your own pattern, live your own life, and follow your own star.
