On Life

God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The choice is how.

Do What is Right

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
~Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Accomplishments

Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
~Louis "Lou" Holtz (born 1937)

Success

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
~George S. Patton (1885-1945)

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

Women of God

Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.

~Margaret Nadauld
