Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed.

Since it doesn't cost a dime to dream, you'll never shortchange yourself when you stretch your imagination.

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

Commit yourself to a dream. . . . Nobody who tries to do something great but fails is a total failure. Why? Because he can always rest assured that he succeeded in life's most important battle -- he defeated his fear of trying.

Tough times don't last, tough people do.
