The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible. The kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.
