America needs fewer men obsessed with erecting fences of hate, suspicion and name calling.

The greatest failure is the failure to try.

What you believe is more important than what you possess. What you live is more lasting than what you profess. Whom you inspire is more significant than whom you impress.

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.

Men never plan to be failures; they simply fail to plan to be successful

In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving.

The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.
