- Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way. Booker T Washington

- Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can. You don't drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there. 

- Character consists of what you do on the 3rd and 4th tries. Just like success is largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. 

- Whatever you're drawn closest to will grow in your life. Be sure you're nurturing what you want to grow and starving what you want to die. TD Jakes
