Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the ‘gotta have it’ scale.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

I took up an offer for me to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. It worked. I lost 30 days!

Courage is facing your fears. Stupidity is fearing nothing.

It might interest you to know that the 1828 Noah Webster Dictionary identifies the optimist in complimentary terms, but says nothing about the pessimist. The word ‘pessimist’ was not in our vocabulary at that time. It’s a modern ‘invention’ which I believe we should ‘dis-invent.’

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

Stumbling is not the same as falling.

All one needs to do is read – books, magazines, research the Internet – and pay attention to the influencers in their lives to discover the myriad people of strong moral character who have and still are making positive, meaningful contributions and differences in our world.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Once the game is over, the King and the pawn go back in the same box.
