Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.

Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.

Be someone who listens, and you will be heard. Be someone who cares, and you will be loved. Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed. Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Achievement does not require extraordinary ability. Achievement comes from ordinary abilities applied with extraordinary persistence.

Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment.

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.

Life does not owe you anything, because life has already given you everything.

You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.

Spread the seeds of encouragement far and wide, and delight in the bountiful harvest that they will surely bring.

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

It needeth us to have knowing of the littleness of creatures and to hold as nought all-thing that is made, for to love and have God that is unmade.

It is only about things which concern us most profoundly that we lie clearly and with profound conviction.

In business, people are held accountable. In Washington, nobody is held accountable. In business, people are judged on results. In Washington, people are measured by their ability to get reelected.

It's always the script that's going to lure me. And I don't really care about the part.
