It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people, to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses.
~ William Arthur Ward
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.
Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.

The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities, the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.
Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook.
Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.
Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.
When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.
A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.
Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.
Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.
Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
