I’ve never made a fortune,
It’s probably too late now.
Oh, but I don’t worry about that much,
‘Cause I’m happy anyhow.

“Sing a new song; dance a new step; take a new path.
Think a new thought; accept a new responsibility; memorize a new poem.

Believe while others are doubting.
Plan while others are playing.
Study while others are sleeping.

Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.

“The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the wildest dreams. We would have more than one Einstein, Edison, Schweitzer, Mother Theresa, Dr. Salk and other great minds in a century.”

If you are wise, you will forget yourself into greatness.
Forget your rights, but remember your responsibilities.
Forget your inconveniences, but remember your blessings.
Forget your own accomplishments, but remember your debts to others.
Forget your privileges, but remember your obligations.

Life Is an Experience, So …
Think a new thought; accept a new responsibility; memorize a new poem.
Try a new recipe; plan a new adventure; entertain a new idea.
Learn a new language; blaze a new trail; enjoy a new experience.

The Gift of Love
May you find love in your family and your friends. And may you share the love you have to give. When you share your love, it comes back to you in many forms.
“Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand.” Mother Teresa

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.
If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn’t oversleep.
