TODAY can be a healthy unusual day for you-and for others-if you take time to give someone a smile . . . to express a word of kindness . . . to lend a helping hand to someone in need . . . ..to write a note of gratitude . . . to give a word of encouragement to someone who is temporarily overcome with problems . . . to share a portion of your material possessions with others.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.

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.

Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement.

We can learn much from wise words, little from wisecracks, and less from wise guys.

The greatest failure is the failure to try.

Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.
