“The second mile of hard work is what makes the difference between the exhilaration of achievement and the acceptance of mediocrity.”

“Blessed are those who can give without remembering and receive without forgetting.”

                                   ~Author Unknown~

Courage must come from the world within,

the man must furnish the will to win.

So figure it out for yourself, my lad,

you were born with all that the great have had,

With your equipment they all began.

Get hold of yourself, and say: “I can.”

                                        - Edgar A. Guest

“Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.”
