We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
It is most unusual to return to a place that has changed in ways you yourself have altered.
It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.
I approach every problem with optimism.
