To become a better you, remember to be grateful to people who have contributed to making you who you are today.

Why do you feel so powerless? Go spend an hour with ants. Each of those black specks you see is a life. One whole life that you can save, take, or affect in some way. You have the power to make so many lives better. It is within you. Don’t lose sight of that.

And then one day you realise that if you want to be rich, you'd have to give away almost everything you own.

My shoulders, broad and sculpted thick, were designed for two useful purposes. The one, to carry heavy loads like cedar logs and beams of steel and now and then the careful transfer of an injured friend to a bed of safety. The other purpose I consider superior, and that is to be, in all circumstances and forever, your headrest and cry pillow whereupon you may leave your heaviest burdens.

Whenever a man can get hold of numbers, they are invaluable: if correct, they assist in informing his own mind, but they are still more useful in deluding the minds of others. Numbers are the masters of the weak, but the slaves of the strong.

Stop blaming people for not helping you to solve your problems. The question is simple 'are they the ones in the problem with you'? People may teach you, people may advise you, people may inspire you, but it takes YOU to go the extra mile and make an indelible impact!

Your assignment from God is not to change your husband, but to love, follow, assist, and minister to him.

If God give you strength and courage, don't use it to intimidate people or overpower them, rather use your gift to help others find their own way to strength.

When the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) found out that Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were going to visit the site to assist in bringing it into legal compliance, they freaked out! They insisted that the visit had to be canceled and the result was that I eventually became so sick from the toxic workplace environment that I had no option but to leave.

It's impossible to be involved in all situations, but there's no excuse not to be involved in something, somewhere, somehow, with someone. Make an ounce of difference.
