Though I may accumulate a great deal of riches in this world, it is only my wealth of knowledge, talents, and emotional bonds that I keep when I leave.

We live that we might have experience; that through it we might gain wisdom, compassion, faith, and inner strength.

Life's greatest lessons were not shown to me, read to me, illustrated or explained to me; they happened to me.

Mistakes focus our minds on specific details. They weed out truths and afford us goals, bringing straight to our attention lessons to be learned. Mistakes are not meant to make us failures; they are meant to make us wise.

Your life is not a simulation; it's the real game. Play wisely.

The past exists to make us appreciative, aware, and wise. It is a lesson, nothing more.

What I learn today I shall know forever. Whether or not I remember that I know it is a different story.

Knowledge gained is as useless as prideif filed away and never applied.

Have the wisdom to perceive all there is to be thankful for, and then be thankful for the wisdom to perceive things so clearly.
