Indeed, it&#8217;s the only thing that ever has. &#8212; Margaret Mead<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing. &#8212; Abraham Lincoln<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. &#8212; William James<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">The greatest value in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become. &#8212; Ben Herbster<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. &#8212; T. S. Elliot<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. &#8212; Dale Carnegie<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. &#8212; Frank Lloyd Wright<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives. &#8212; Albert Einstein<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Look up and not down. Look forward and not back. Look out and not in, and lend a hand. &#8212; Edward Everett Hale<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks. &#8212; Malcom S. Forbes<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution. &#8212; Kahlil Gibran<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory. &#8212; Mohandas Gandhi<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. &#8212; Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed. &#8212; Woodrow Wilson<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other. &#8212; Orison Swett Marden<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. &#8212; Robert Collier<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Six essential qualities are the key to success: sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity. &#8212; William Menninger<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">I don&#8217;t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. &#8212; Albert Schweitzer<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose. &#8212; Richard Leider<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world. &#8212; William Shakespeare<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. &#8212; Mahatma Gandhi<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">Men are born to succeed, not fail. &#8212; Henry David Thoreau<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>(ed. &#8211; This list was originally compiled and posted in By George Journal in Fall 2009.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life is a promise; fulfill it. &#8211;Mother Theresa Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. &#8211;George Elliot Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
