Enjoy the satisfaction that comes from doing little things well.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people's bad manners.

Watch your finances like a hawk.

Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they're already asleep.

Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity of others.

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

Earn your success based on service to others, not at the expense of others.

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.

Don't work for recognition, but do work worthy of recognition.

Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.

Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness.

Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.
