Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life, not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving, not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness, not by our seeming greatness.

Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.

Commend while others are criticizing, persist while others are quitting

We can be resentful of our age, or we can be grateful for having attained it.

A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.

Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards.

The essence of life is to care. The beauty of life is to give.
