● Get everything you need, and then give it up for what you want. Then you can say you have had a fulfilling life.

Calvin Coolidge
● Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
● No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

Carl Schurz
● Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny.

Charles Caleb Colton
● Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship–never

Charles Buxton
● You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.

Chinese Proverb
● He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
● If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people. The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out.

Clarence Darrow
● The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children.
If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think.

Charles DeGaulle
● Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.

Christine M. Huppert
● Be nice and smile to everyone you meet. You don’t know what they are going through, and they may need that smile. And treasure it.

Charles J.C. Lyall
● There are four things that hold back human progress. Ignorance, stupidity, committees and accountants.

Colin Powell
● There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Charles Schwab
● I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among men the greatest asset I possess. The way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement.
● A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.

W. Clement Stone
● There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

Charles Swindoll
● People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under. The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
