No man is good for anything who has not some particle of obstinacy to use upon occasion.

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. Admiral Bill McRaven (Navy SEAL)

I must walk right up to my last moment.

Offer to God the sacrifice of never gathering any fruit. If He will that throughout your whole life you should feel a repugnance to suffering and humiliation—if He permit that all the flowers of your desires and of your good will should fall to the ground without any fruit appearing, do not worry. At the hour of death, in the twinkling of an eye, He will cause fair fruits to ripen on the tree of your soul.

Serving brings great rewards, but sometimes those rewards come gift-wrapped in trying situations. Those who lovingly serve others can end up feeling like crash dummies designed specifically to discover the heat, force, and pain tolerance of some new product.

In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.

When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on

The greatest gift life has to offer is the opportunity to work hard at work worth doing.

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.

In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The second best thing is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

Great thought speak only to the thoughtful mind ,but great actions speak to all mankind.

In a moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
