A good father believes that he does wisely to encourage enterprise, productive skill, prudent self-denial, and judicious expenditure on the part of his son.

Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.

He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.

Details create the big picture.

This is the price you pay for having a great father. You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments - and you get the tears at the end, too.

Everyone is your best friend when you are successful. Make sure that the people that you surround yourself with are also the people that you are not afraid of failing with.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Always expect the unexpected. Right around Thanksgiving, when the new Alex Cross will be out. It's called Four Blind Mice and it's a pretty amazing story about several murders inside the military.

Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out.

Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.

We invest less in our friendships and expect more of friends than any other relationship. We spend days working out where to book for a romantic dinner, weeks wondering how to celebrate a partner or parent's birthday, and seconds forgetting a friend's important anniversary.

After 45 years of marriage, when I have an argument with my wife, if we don't agree, we do what she wants. But, when we agree, we do what I want!

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

The knives of jealousy are honed on details.

There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.

A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

Some memories are unforgettable, remaining ever vivid and heartwarming!

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.

Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.
