quotes

This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it--or use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, and not loss; good, and not evil; success, and not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price that I have paid for it.
-Dr. Hartsell Wilson

There is nothing worth more than this day
-Goethe

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

I do the very best I know how; the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.
-Abraham Lincoln


You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations as to what you cannot do. Don't think you cannot. Think you can.
-Darwin P. Kingsley

Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet
-Will Rogers

If my life had been made up of eight hour days, I do not believe I would have accomplished a great deal.
-Thomas Edison

It is not the critic who counts; not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of great deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiams, the great devotions, and spends himself in a a worthy cause; who if he winds knows the triumph of great achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

Quitters never win. Winners never quit.
-Virigia Hutchinson

The harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly.
