A good teacher explains, while a great teacher inspires

Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change.

The momentary thrill of getting rarely equals the lasting joy of giving.

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions, knows about difficulties but believes they can be overcome, sees the negatives but accentuates the positives, is exposed to the worst but expects the best, has reason to complain but chooses to smile.

A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strenghs; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.
