“Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.”

“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.”

“As we serve our jobs we serve the world.”

“Money doesn't make us anyway it just unmasks us.”

“There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.”

“When we pillow our heads at night, we need to have things that give us peace. Many such things are available, but one of the best is the simple peace of knowing that we've done things that day that were not easy for us to do. If we can see ourselves as people who are learning little by little to master the hard parts of life, we will live with a greater confidence and be able to serve those around us more helpfully. The ancient adage is true which tells us, "A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”

“You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn't correct. We all start with all there is, it's how we use it that makes things possible.”
