The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

One characteristic of winners is they always look upon themselves as a do it yourself project.
