This bright new year is given me

To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist, all doors have locks and latches.

Giving is more than a responsibility-it is a privilege; more than an act of obedience-it is evidence of our faith.

The more we count the blessings we have, the less we crave the luxuries we haven't.

I have the opportunity, once more to right some wrongs, to pray for peace, to plant some trees, and sing more joyful songs.

A second-class is a first-class mistake.

The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.
