You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself. (Harvey Firestone)

People don't care how much you know until they know who much you care - about them.

Successful people use their strength by recognizing, developing and utilizing the talents of others.

Be a good finder - look for the good in others.

People pay more attention to what you do than what you say.

A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.

There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others. (George Shinn)

How many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they're on the same side?

The greatest good we can do for others is not to share our riches with them, but to reveal theirs.

Recipe for having friends: Be one. (Elbert Hubbard)

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love. (Henry Drummond)

One day, a scorpion stood on the side of a stream  and asked a frog to carry it to the other side. "How do I know you won't sting me?" the frog asked. "Because if I sting you, I'll drown," the scorpion said.
The frog thought about it and realized that the scorpion was right. So he put the scorpion on his back and started ferrying him. But midway across the stream, the scorpion plunged its stinger into the frog's back. As they both began to drown, the frog gasped, "Why?"
The scorpion replied, "Because it's my nature."
