Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.

Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.

I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.

The truest help we can render an afflicted man is not to take his burden from him, but to call out his best energy, that he may be able to bear the burden.

What would there be in a story of happiness? Only what prepares it, only what destroys it can be told.

I don't belong to anyone else but myself. I have to make my own decisions. Happiness is defined by me.

Those who know me know I'm passionate about lists, and top of my list of priorities is my family. My wife Joan and I do not consider our legacy to our children to be wealth or fame but the opportunity to pursue happiness by following their own path.

You get to a certain age where you prepare yourself for happiness. Sometimes you never remember to actually get happy.
