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

A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful.

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

Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
