Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith; pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt.
Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.
We can learn much from wise words, little from wisecracks, and less from wise guys.
This bright new year is given me
The more patient we are, the more understanding we become.
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.
