- Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming,
- It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make the big things happen.
- If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
- Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
- Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
- Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
- Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
- Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books – especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.
- Don’t let making a living prevent you from making a life.
- You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
- You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.
- Don’t give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.
