The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects... - William Arthur Ward

"The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give."

"When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves."

"It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses."

"Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future,challenge the improbable and attain the impossible"

"We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them."
