“Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.”

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

“When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.”

“Every person has the power to make others happy. Some do it simply by entering a room others by leaving the room. Some individuals leave trails of gloom; others, trails of joy. Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony. Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others trails of faith and optimism. Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails do you leave?”

“The greatest hazard in life is to risk NOTHING.”

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”

“Before you act, listen. Before you react, think.Before you spend, earn.Before you criticize, wait.Before you pray, forgive.Before you quit, try.”
