Christmas is more than a time of music, merriment and mirth; it is a season of meditation, mangers and miracles. Christmas is more than a time of carols, cards and candy; it is a season of dedication and decision.

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it.

If you would be interesting, be interested, if you would be pleased, be pleasing, if you would be loved, be loveable, if you would be helped be helpful.

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.

Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future,challenge the improbable and attain the impossible

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends... Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Real and lasting generosity requires that a person do more than make up his mind to give. He must also make up his heart.
