If you seek money, be wise; if you seek power, be strong; if you seek honor, be virtuous; if you seek happiness, be yourself.

If you look to money for happiness, you will be disappointed; to power, you will be disillusioned; to honor, you will be dissatisfied; to others, you will be disenchanted; but if you look to God, you will be fulfilled.

Wealth won’t make you happy. Power won’t make you remarkable. Fame won’t make you honorable. Education won’t make you wise.

Your greatest highs come from overcoming your greatest lows.

You have no power over your past,but you do over your present.You have no power over your history,but you do over your future.You have no power over your fortune,but you do over your actions.You have no power over your reputation,but you do over your character.You have no power over destiny,but you do over yourself.You have no power over anyone,but you do over your world.

Smiling through confusion is courage.Smiling through tears is strength.Smiling through pain is power.Smiling through tragedy is greatness.

Money is true strength.Titles are true might.Respect is true power.Knowledge takes you far.Intelligence takes you further.Wisdom takes you around the world.

Mind-power takes you to the mountaintop. Heart-power takes you the stars. Soul-power takes you to the edge of the universe.

Noble leaders choose: wisdom over wealth, knowledge over fame, understanding over honor, virtue over titles, and people over power.
