To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist, all doors have locks and latches.

In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion date, then do it.

The essence of life is to care. The beauty of life is to give.

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem--he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.

Every day is a good day to examine our prime-time priorities.

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