Favorite saying

• "“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” “Time is limited, so I better wake up every morning fresh and know that I have just one chance to live this particular day right, and to string my days together into a life of action, and purpose.” “Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.” “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” “They say things happen for a reason... You don't do them, they won't.” “In this world, you must be a bit too kind in order to be kind enough.” “I am an optimist. Any tough problem, I think it can be solved.” “I love getting up in the morning. I clap my hands and say, 'This is gonna be a great day.'” “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” “Nothing is impossible.”"
