Don't Quit...
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging seems uphill,
when the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

 Life is queer with its twists and turns,
And everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out,
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick in the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
That you must not quit!
 

Image is what people think we are.
Integrity is what we really are.

I've learned that you should
keep an open mind,
but don't be so open-minded
that your brains fall out.

Your attitude is either your best friend
or your worst enemy, your greatest asset
or your greatest liability.
 
Let the choices you make today
be choices you can live with tomorrow.

One Teacher can Shape a Child
One Child can Shape the World

Faith is like a muscle...
The more exercise it gets,
The stronger is becomes.
... your faith is increased.
2 Corinthians 10:15

Success is never final.
Failure is never fatal.
It's courage that counts.
  ...Sam Rutigliano, NFL Coach

Everyone you meet
deserves that first smile!

Over and over, it has been made 
crystal clear to me that the basics of life are important --
Love of God, family and friends; a commitment to integrity
so that you will be respected and respect yourself;
and a commitment to leadership so that others will
respect you because of your actions.
     ...Monte Clark, NFL Coach
