Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today. Go another mile!
So long as I can laugh, never will I be poor.
If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.
If our lives are truly plans of God, someone had better call a meeting soon to remind us, once more, what great miracles we really are.
If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.
Don't let your success of today lay you into complacency for tomorrow. For that is the worst form of failure.
