"Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day."
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
"Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided."
"All of life is peaks and valleys. Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low."
"Don't mistake activity with achievement."
"Passion is momentary; love is enduring."
