"I think of myself as a catalyst of action and a messenger of hope, turning people onto themselves and turning people onto their dreams."

"If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you."

"If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams."

"In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact."

"It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams."

"Life has no limitations, except the ones you make."

"Our ability to handle life's challenges is a measure of our strength of character."

"The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today."

"Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears."

"We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams."

"We were all born with a certain degree of power. The key to success is discovering this innate power and using it daily to deal with whatever challenges come our way."

"When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up."

"Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks."

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."

"You don't get what you want in life. You get who you are!"

"Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers."

"Your smile will give you a positive countenance that will make people feel comfortable around you."
