Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

A good teacher explains, while a great teacher inspires

Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.

Success never resides in the world of weak wishes, but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.

Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions, knows about difficulties but believes they can be overcome, sees the negatives but accentuates the positives, is exposed to the worst but expects the best, has reason to complain but chooses to smile.

We can be bitter about our handicaps or we can be happy about our blessings.
