Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.

In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.

It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference.

Jealousy is, I think, the worst of all faults because it makes a victim of both parties.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

Fight the good fight of faith, and God will give you spiritual mercies.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever; That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.

I was raised by my father; I was daddy's girl.

Hunger, revenge, to sleep are petty foes, But only death the jealous eyes can close.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

I think we take it for granted that if you are with your husband after 30 years, then he is the love of your life.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.

Jealousy is all the fun you think they had.
