We are more than what we do... much more than what we accomplish... far more than what we possess.

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.

Before you speak, listen.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails

Real optimism is exposed to the worst but expects the best.

Freedom's enemies are waste, lethargy, indifference, immorality, and the insidious attitude of something for nothing.

The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.
