SUCCESS
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden
patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has
breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have
succeeded. -often attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, though may
be poet Bessie Stanley.
The
Master said, "Learning without thought is labor lost; thought
without learning is perilous." -Confucius, The Analects
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has
genius, power, and magic in it. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"If ever time
should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats
in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced
patriots to prevent its ruin." -Samuel Adams
