The greatest failure is the failure to try.

Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.

Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.

The greatest failure is the failure to try.

A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

Flying off the handle sometimes causes hammers and humans to lose their heads, as well as their effectiveness.
