Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.

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

We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them.

A complaining tongue reveals an ungrateful heart.

To the optimist, obstacles aare challenges, roadblocks are inspirations, and problems are invitations to achievement.

Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.

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