Hear more than people say.Give more than people ask.Do more than people expect.Achieve more than people imagine.

A genuine smile is one of the world’s rarest treasures.

A fish that is afraid of drowning in a river is ignorant of its gifts.

A diamond earns its sparkle from the pressure it endures.

It is in the storm, not the calm, that a rainbow is born.

A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.

If you cry in the rain, only the sky will see your tears.

Birds keep singing beautiful songs, even if they have no audience.

Today's storms help you appreciate tomorrow’s sunshine.

Train the ears to hear more, the eyes to see more, the hands to do more, the feet to accomplish more, the mind to think more, the heart to feel more, and the soul to love more.

And empty words are evil.

Increase your joy by doing the good you wish to have done to you.

My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.

If a group of people - leaders - can convince a group of folk who barely have a pot to piss in that the rich shouldn't be taxed-- THAT is leadership!

My God is rock'n'roll.

If you don't look at yourself and evaluate it, you instead see how the world's reacting to it.

I don't know Who is cranking; I'm pleased He doesn't stop.
