Mediocrity will never do. You are capable of something better.

Do your best, and be a little better than you are.

You are people with a present and with a future. Don't muff the ball. Be excellent.

We live in a world that is filled with filth and sleaze, a world that reeks of evil. You cannot afford that filthy poison to touch you. Stay away from it. Avoid it.

So much of the civil strife and conflict in our society could be ameliorated by a small touch of mercy.

Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.
