If you could envision the type of person God intended you to be, you would rise up and never be the same again.
Education must be a lifelong pursuit. The person who doesn't read is not better off than the person who can't.
Don't wait until people are dead to give them flowers.
Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do.
The primary purpose of going to college isn't to get a great job. The primary purpose of college is to build a strong mind, which leads to greater self-awareness, capability, fulfillment, and service opportunities, which, incidentally, should lead to a better job.
Strong minds talk about ideas; weak minds talk about people.

I like how Mother Teresa put it: "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile."

Life is a mission, not a career. A career is a profession, a mission is a cause. A career asks, What's in it for me? A mission asks, How can I make a difference?
One of the few things that can't be recycled is wasted time.
Isn't it kind of silly to think that tearing someone else down builds you up?
