First I rise, than I fall. Than as I rise again I learn the value of falling and the value of a helping hand and the difference it can make. Now I'm ready , to live life....

I will follow the upward road today; I will keep my face to the light. I will think high thoughts as I go my way; I will do what I know is right. I will look for the flowers by the side of the road; I will laugh and love and be strong. I will try to lighten another’s load this day as I fare along. —Mary S. Edgar

Do not let making a living prevent you from making a life. —John R. Wooden
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. —R.J. Baughan

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. —Ralph Waldo Emerson
