""I believe that no characteristic is so..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.”

“The most desirable thing in life after health and modest means is leisure with dignity.”

“The name of peace is sweet, the thing itself is most salutary.”

“When you feel gratitude, you are the closest to the natural state you were born to live in.”

“Every man in his lifetime needs to thank his faults.”

“I try to see every day as a celebration.”

“The key point is kindness. With kindness one will have inner peace. Through inner peace, world peace can one day be a reality.”

“It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break; the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.”

“Set the tone for your day be treating people better than you expect to be treated by them. Be the first to smile. Express your appreciation for them. Expect the best out of them. If you act first, you will set yourself up for success.”
