THOUGHTS OF THE DAY

First topic message reminder :

Always the courage to stand up for what you believe in
and always have the confidence to stand behind it

" An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is colorblind."

" Saying 'Thank You', now often forgotten, and responding with 'You're Welcome' is so much nicer to hear than 'No Problem'."

" Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes."

" Happiness is when you search and live in it at the same time!"

" In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich."

" So often we dwell on the things that seem impossible rather than on the things that are possible. So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done."

Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.

The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.

Where is there dignity unless there is honesty?

Maybe coming clean is the ultimate selfish act. A way to absolve yourself by hurting someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt.

Honesty is a good thing, but it is not profitable to its possessor unless it is kept under control.

Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people

Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.

Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I.

Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes by chance.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

Riches may enable us to confer favours, but to confer them with propriety and grace requires a something that riches cannot give.

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves."

"Fear God, and your enemies will fear you."

"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment."

"We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment."
