But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails

Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.

Do more than dream. Work.

Lose yourself in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a triumphant day, an abundantly rewarding day!

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.
