" It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success."

" I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour if we only will tune in." " When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." " Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough." |
