We do not stop working and playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop working and playing.

Message! With God's help you can change and take control of your life. You plus God equals enough.
Booker T. Washington said, “You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome
to reach your goals”.

If you don't pay the price for success, you'll pay the price for failure.

A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. But a vision and a task are the hope
of the world.
If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.

Desire is created when something happens in your life that suddenly changes the way you see yourself in
relationship to your future.

Regardless of your lot in life, build something beautiful on it.

When you give a man a dole you deny him his dignity, and when you deny him his dignity you rob him his destiny.

Individuals score points, but teams win games. This is true in athletic events and in life. If you make it in life, your
“team” of parents, teachers, ministers, etc., will have played a major role in your success.

Desire is born with vision.

How you get up in the morning will play a big part in how high you go up in life.

Failure is an event, it is not a person—yesterday ended last night—today is a brand new day and it’s yours.
All of us are not born with equal opportunities. But over a period of time, regardless of our parentage, place of
birth, prospects in our communities, or education, the day comes when we have to make the choice to let our
past teach us—or beat us.

Just as ships are built to sail the seas and planes to fly the heavens, so is man created for a purpose.

Most people have heard of Mahatma Gandhi, the man who led India to independence from British rule. His life
has been memorialized in books and film, and he is regarded as one of the great men in history. But did you
know Gandhi did not start out as a great hero? He was born into a middle-class family. He had low self-esteem,
and that made him reluctant to interact with others. He wasn’t a very good student, either, and he struggled
just to finish high school. His first attempt at higher education ended in five months. His parents decided to send
him to England to finish his education, hoping the new environment would motivate him. Gandhi became a
lawyer. The problem when he returned to India was that he didn’t know much about Indian law and had trouble
finding clients. So he migrated to South Africa and got a job as a clerk. Gandhi’s life changed one day while riding
on a train in South Africa in the first-class section. Because of his dark skin, he was forced to move to a freight
car. He refused, and they kicked him off the train. It was then he realized he was afraid of challenging authority,
but that he suddenly wanted to help others overcome discrimination if he could. He created a new vision for
himself that had value and purpose. He saw value in helping people free themselves from discrimination and
injustice. He discovered purpose in life where none had existed previously, and that sense of purpose pulled him
forward and motivated him to do what best-selling author and motivational speaker Andy Andrews calls “persist
without exception.” His purpose and value turned him into the winner he was born to be.

Most men go to their graves with their dreams still inside them.

Problems—God's method of revealing Himself to anyone who is interested.
