Only the person who risks is truly free

Three enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterday’s mistakes, anxiety over tomorrow’s problems, and ingratitude for today’s blessings.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.

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.

A second-class is a first-class mistake.

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