The more we count the blessings we have, the less we crave the luxuries we haven't.

We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead.

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

Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation; losers, to give in the frustration; winners, to come through with determination.

Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?'

Today's patience can transform yesterday's discouragements into tomorrow's discoveries. Today's purposes can turn yesterday's defeats into tomorrow's determination.
