"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of
honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to
appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world
a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the
kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual
inspiration that comes to one when they discover that someone
else believes in them and is willing to trust them."

Some people make things happen, some watch things happen,
while others wonder what has happened.
Never, never quit.

Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity.
The more clear you are on what you want, the more power you will
have.
The harder we try, the luckier we are.
If you rest, you rust.
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to
pull the trigger.

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things
which matter least.
