Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

Remember that a gesture of friendship, no matter how small, is always appreciated.

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.

Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

When facing a difficult task, act as though it is impossible to fail. If you are going after Moby Dick, take along the tartar sauce.

We're constantly striving for success, fame and comfort when all we really need to be happy is someone or some thing to be enthusiastic about.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they're already asleep.
