I am natures greatest miracle. Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. I am a unique creature.
Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.
Always let your reach exceed your grasp.
If our lives are truly plans of God, someone had better call a meeting soon to remind us, once more, what great miracles we really are.
If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.
The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement
With no goals, no priorities, no life strategy of our own, we drift with the herd through an endless meadow of mediocrity, unable to break loose, to achieve even a small part of the dreams we once cherished.
All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath--so what does that make today worth?
So long as I can laugh, never will I be poor.
If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.
So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist.
Wealth, my son, should never be your goal in life. Your words are eloquent but they are mere words. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse.
Envy, like the worm, is always attracted to the fairest apple
I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.
