The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become.

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.

Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.

Failure is not fatal. Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. It should challenge us to new heights of accomplishments, not pull us to new depths of despair. From honest failure can come valuable experience.

Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith; pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt.

The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.

If laser beams can cut through mountains, why should we doubt the power of prayer?
