The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
The more patient we are, the more understanding we become.
Words, like tranquil waters behind a dam, can become reckless and uncontrollable torrents of destruction when released without caution and wisdom.
The greatest hazard in life is to risk NOTHING.
Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.
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.
