Christmas can be the end of emptiness and waywardness; The beginning of happiness and purposefulness.

Christmas is more that a time of festivities, family, and friends; it is a season of generosity, gladness, and gratitude.

The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem - he is challenged by it.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

We can be resentful of our age, or we can be grateful for having attained it.

A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.
