"Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent.
Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by
contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by
piece--by thought, choice, courage and determination.." --John
Luther
"If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or
reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want,
and all that is left is a compromise." -- Robert Fritz
"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance
and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence." --
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Pretend that each area of your life-family, work, leisure
activities, your faith, possessions, and so forth-is a ball
you're juggling. All the balls are rubber, except for the ones
that represent your family, friends, and faith. Those are made
of fragile glass. So go ahead and juggle away, but be careful
about which balls you drop." -- John Sortino
"To have more you simply have to become more valuable. Learn
to work harder on yourself than you do on your job." -- Jim
Rohn
"What do the words success and excuses have in common?
Nothing! Those who achieve success never rely on excuses. And
those who rely on excuses never achieve success." -
compliments of W. Collier
"You cannot change the seasons but you can change yourself."
-- Jim Rohn
"Many individuals have, like uncut diamonds, shining qualities
beneath a rough exterior." -- Decimus Junius Juvenalis
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Success never rests. On your worst days, be good And on your
best days, be great. And on every other day, get better." --
Carmen Mariano, educator; writer
"Nothing great has ever been achieved without stretching." --
Mike Litman
