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.

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

Our words reveal our thoughts; our manners mirror our self-esteem; our actions reflect our character; our habits predict the future.

Flying off the handle sometimes causes hammers and humans to lose their heads, as well as their effectiveness.

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.

The adventure of life is to learn.

Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.
