Success Depends Upon . . . . . . . . . . . (Ruth Scott) "Success depends above all, upon people. Build relationships, teams, partnerships—and motivate people to contribute. Cultivate leadership, creativity, and excellence. Listen, seek new ideas and advice."

Wise Thoughts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Johann von Goethe "All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience."

Live for Something . . . . . . . . . . . (Thomas Chalmers) "Live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storms of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten. Your name and your good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven."
