MY FAVORITE QUOTES

"The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose." - Hadia Bejar

"Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand." - Augustine

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble." - Helen Keller

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"To be honest, in life, I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success." Jerry Maguire

"When the illusion of control disappears, we become men and women of prayer." – Rick Warren

In a profile, Scott Boras, widely regarded as the most powerful agent in professional baseball, describes a dinner with one of his mentors after a record-breaking contract: “He said that if you are really effective at what you do, 95% of the things said about you will be negative. Keep your head on straight, don’t get emotional, take the heat, and just make sure your clients are smiling.”

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying to self
that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen." – St. Francis of Assisi

"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty."

"The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." – David O. McKay

"Friends are the family we choose for ourselves."

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." – Helen Keller
