(page 20)
To enjoy the glow of good health, you must exercise.
You were made perfectly to be loved — and surely I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long.
All the money in the world can't buy you back good health.
Jesus isn't lettin' you off the hook. The Scriptures don't let you off the hook so easily... When people say, you know, 'Good teacher', 'Prophet', 'Really nice guy' ... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
You know what they call the fellow who finishes last in his medical school graduating class? They call him 'Doctor'.

You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward.
Academic achievement was something I'd always sought as a form of reward. Good grades pleased my parents, good grades pleased my teachers; you got them in order to sew up approval.
There's a silly notion that failure's not an option at NASA. Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary — not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them.
If you do what you love, it is the best way to relax.
