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

Too many of us hear without heeding, read without responding, confess without changing, profess without practicing, worship without witnessing, and seek without sharing.

Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life, not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving, not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness, not by our seeming greatness.

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.

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

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.
