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.

All of us perform better and more willingly when we know why we're doing what we have been told or asked to do.

You have to feed your mind daily with the good, clean, pure, powerful and positive.

If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

First, say to yourself what you would be; then do what you have to do. Life is a grindstone. Whether it wears you down or polishes you up depends on what YOU are made of.

Today be thankful and think how rich you are. Your family is priceless, your time is gold and your health is wealth.

Life is an echo. What you send out comes back.
