You Can't Conquer Reality By Running Away

Most Humans, In Varying Degrees, Are Already Dead. In One Way Or Another They Have Lost Their Dreams, Their Ambitions, Their Desire For A Better Life. They Have Surrendered Their Fight For Self-esteem And They Have Compromised Their Great Potential. They Have Settled For A Life Of Mediocrity, Days Of Despair And Nights Of Tears. They Are No More Than Living Deaths Confined To Cemeteries Of Their Choice. Yet They Need Not Remain In That State. They Can Be Resurrected From Their Sorry Condition. They Can Each Perform The Greatest Miracle In The World. They Can Each Come Back From The Dead.

Let Your Actions Always Speak For You, But Be Forever On Guard Against The Terrible Traps Of False Pride And Conceit That Can Halt Your Progress. The Next Time You Are Tempted To Boast, Just Place Your Fist In A Full Pail Of Water, And When You Remove It, The Hole Remaining Will Give You A Correct Measure Of Your Importance.

Always Strive To Make The Next Hour Better Than This One.

All The Gold In The World Cannot Buy A Dying Man One More Breath--so What Does That Make Today Worth?

Always Will I Dig For Reasons To Applaud; Never Will I Scratch For Excuses To Gossip. When I Am Tempted To Criticize I Will Bite On My Tongue; When I Am Moved To Praise I Will Shout From The Roofs.
