Better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.

A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.

Every day is a good day to examine our prime-time priorities.

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

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.

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem--he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.

Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.
