Ethical dilemmas have a way of sneaking up on a person. If something smells funny, stay away from it. Or help get rid of it.

If you're experiencing no anxiety or discomfort, the risk you're taking probably isn't worthy of you. The only risks that aren't a little scary are the ones you've outgrown.

Most people confuse wishing and wanting with pursuing. You must place your trust in action.

Optimism inspires, energizes, and brings out our best. It points the mind toward possibilities and helps us think creatively past problems.

No sense being pessimistic. Wouldn't work anyway.

Too much attention on problems kills our faith in possibilities.

If you must doubt something, doubt your limits.

Your ethical muscle grows stronger every time you choose right over wrong.

Excellence calls for character . . . integrity . . . fairness . . . honesty . . . a determination to do what's right. High ethical standards, across the board.

So let your deepest desires direct your aim. Set your sights far above the 'reasonable' target. The power of purpose is profound only if you have a desire that stirs the heart.

We can't win the struggle for high standards if we just talk a good game . . . we've got to play a good game.

We stay this way until twilight colours the window and the hour calls me home

A president's hardest task is not to do what's right but to know what's right.

One barrier to being a great parent is the mistaken belief that we are raising kids.

I've always been shy, I was a quiet child. I didn't start speaking until uh, last year.

I'll never be alone, because I'll always have My Problems with me!

For years, broadcasters didn't get a nickel out of retransmission consent. But broadcast content is what the cable industry was selling to customers.

What is the cause of most backslidings? I believe, as a general rule, one of the chief causes is neglect of private prayer.

Every artist should live by these words: Never feel bad about successfully selling your creations. Never feel bad about creating art you can't sell.

Stand fully in the now moment with gratitude, enthusiasm, openness, and readiness to respond to Life as it greets you.

This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.
