What you believe is more important than what you possess. What you live is more lasting than what you profess. Whom you inspire is more significant than whom you impress.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.

Today's patience can transform yesterday's discouragements into tomorrow's discoveries. Today's purposes can turn yesterday's defeats into tomorrow's determination.

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

A complaining tongue reveals an ungrateful heart.

Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.
