“We can learn much from wise words, little from wisecracks, and less from wise guys. ”

“Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.”

“It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses.”

“We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead.”

“We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them.”

“We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them.”

“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.”
