Success is like pumping an old well handle. You have to pump a very long time before you get water. But don't give up or you will have to start all over again.

Don't let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of going after yours.

Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember ~ the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.

Kids don't make up 100 percent of our population, but they do make up 100 percent of our future.

How happy you are depends to a very large degree on your relationships with other people.

If you step out of a tenth story window you do not break the law of gravity, you confirm it.

I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don't misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives.
