Empathy feels these thoughts; your hurt is in my heart, your loss is in my prayers, your sorrow is in my soul, and your tears are in my eyes.

Words, like tranquil waters behind a dam, can become reckless and uncontrollable torrents of destruction when released without caution and wisdom.

Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis.

The optimist pleasantly ponders how high his kite will fly; the pessimist woefully wonders how soon his kite will fall.

Men never plan to be failures; they simply fail to plan to be successful

This bright new year is given me

Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.
