As the valley gives height to the mountain, so can sorrow give meaning to pleasure; as the well is the source of the fountain, deep adversity can be a treasure.

Success never resides in the world of weak wishes, but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.

Vow to be valiant. Resolve to be radiant. Determine to be dynamic. Strive to be sincere. Aspire to be attuned.

Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions.

We are more than what we do... much more than what we accomplish... far more than what we possess.

Real optimism knows the difficulties but believes they can be overcome.

A complaining tongue reveals an ungrateful heart.
