To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility - these are marks of maturity and graciousness.

Do more than be fair: be kind.

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.

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it.

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

The winner asks, "May I help?" The loser asks, "Do you expect me to do that?"

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.
