Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith; pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt.

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist, all doors have locks and latches.

There is one thing we can do better than anyone else: we can be ourselves.

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

Too many of us hear without heeding, read without responding, confess without changing, profess without practicing, worship without witnessing, and seek without sharing.

To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility - these are marks of maturity and graciousness.
