In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving.

We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead.

To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility - these are marks of maturity and graciousness.

Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook.

Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.

Do more than dream. Work.

Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.
