“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, to say “no” to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger “yes” burning inside.”

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
The purpose that you wish to find in life, like a cure you seek, is not going to fall from the sky. ...I believe purpose is something for which one is responsible; it's not just divinely assigned. #<Author:0x000055aa4f1f7800>
PURPOSE
Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. #<Author:0x000055aa4f2e20d0>
RESPECT
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. #<Author:0x000055aa4f29c7b0>
GRATITUDE
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty. #<Author:0x000055aa4f371168>

PEACE
It takes two flints to make a fire. #<Author:0x000055aa4f44f0d0>
TEAMWORK
Sportsmanship for me is when a guy walks off the court and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way. #<Author:0x000055aa4f412888>
SPORTSMANSHIP
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. #<Author:0x000055aa4f4bcec8>

BELIEVE
Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education. #<Author:0x000055aa4f539860>
EDUCATION
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained. #<Author:0x000055aa4f4ff7c8>
CONNECTION
When you walk a life of honesty, you live a life of truth. #<Author:0x000055aa4f5c5568>
