Every situation holds a lesson to be learned. –Alfred J. Parker

It is easy to desire to be good, to progress, to change, but it only happens when we apply and actually do the work necessary for the desired change. Wishful thinking never made anyone rich, beautiful, or happy. Only honest accomplishment does that. –Kabalarian Teachings

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be principled, just, and honest at all times; and peace, health, and success will follow you all the days of your life –Alfred J. Parker
