Another fresh new year is here . . . Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest . . . To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs!

As the valley gives height to the mountain, so can sorrow give meaning to pleasure; as the well is the source of the fountain, deep adversity can be a treasure.

Gratitude is the the energy of faith.

Success never resides in the world of weak wishes, but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.

Will someone else's life be brighter tomorrow, because of what you have done today?

Commend while others are criticizing, persist while others are quitting

The greatest failure is the failure to try.
