Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.

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.

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it.

Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis.

The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem - he is challenged by it.

Real optimism knows the difficulties but believes they can be overcome.

Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.
