Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

I never expect to lose. Even when I'm the underdog I still prepare a victory speech.

Always kiss your children goodnight even if they're already asleep.

Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people's bad manners.

Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.

Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.

If someone offers you a breath mint accept it.

Live so that when your children think of fairness caring and integrity they think of you.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

You can always tell when a man's well informed. His views are pretty much like your own.

Life doesn't require that we be the best only that we try our best.

Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love prayer and forgiveness.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

Remember that children marriages and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

Never deprive someone of hope, it might be all they have.

When you are angry or frustrated what comes out? Whatever it is it's a good indication of what you're made of.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

If you're doing your best you won't have any time to worry about failure.

When you have nothing important or interesting to say don't let anyone persuade you to say it.

Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.

You either make dust or eat dust.

We're constantly striving for success fame and comfort when all we really need to be happy is someone or some thing to be enthusiastic about.

In business or in life don't follow the wagon tracks too closely.

Luck marches with those who give their very best.

Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second-hand furniture.

Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more but those giving more.

You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.

Oh the difference between nearly right and exactly right.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement but you never know if it's going to be forward backwards or sideways.

Be smarter than other people just don't tell them so.

You can't hire someone to practice for you.

Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.
