We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are.
"Every one of us, unconsciously, works out a personal philosophy of life, by which we are guided, inspired, and corrected, as time goes on. It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days, and by which we advertise to all about us the man, or woman, that we are. . . . It takes but a brief time to scent the life philosophy of anyone. It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye, and in the general mien of the person. It has no hiding place. It's like the perfume of the flower ? unseen, but known almost instantly. It is the possession of the successful, and the happy. And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth."
George Matthew Adams

The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time.That is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to to reap without apology if the amounts are big.
"Failure seems to be regarded as the one unpardonable crime, success as the all-redeeming virtue, the acquisition of wealth as the single worthy aim of life. The hair-raising revelations of skullduggery and grand-scale thievery merely incite others to surpass by yet bolder outrages and more corrupt combinations."

Take time to laugh- It is the music of the soul. Take time to be friendly- It is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream- It is what the future is made of. Take time to pray- It is the greatest power on earth.

What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination.
"It is a shameful thing for the soul to faint while the body still perseveres."
Marcus Aurelius Antonimus "One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic ? something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word ?decide? contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese proverb, ?With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin."
Maltbie Davenport Babcock
