The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.

Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do.

Dont ever be impressed with goal setting; be impressed with goal getting. Reaching new goals and moving to a higher level of performance always requires change, and change feels awkward. But take comfort in the knowledge that if a change doesn't feel uncomfortable, then it's propably not really a change.

Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

if you don't have peace, it isn't because someone took it from you; you gave it away. You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.

What it gives them most is maturity, a sense of responsibility, a sense of affiliation, a sense of becoming part of the nation.
