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

There is one thing we can do better than anyone else: we can be ourselves.

Man, like the bridge, was designed to carry the load of the moment, not the combined weight of a year at once.

To the optimist, obstacles aare challenges, roadblocks are inspirations, and problems are invitations to achievement.

Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.

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!

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.
