Friendship
A friend is the first one to come in when all the world goes out.
Happiness
Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night.
Dreams
God gives us dreams a size too big so that we can grow into them.
Coping
The smartest thing I ever said was, Help me!
I kept looking for somebody to solve the problem. Then I realized I am somebody.
Aging
I still have a full deck; I just shuffle slower now.
Time may be a great healer but it's a lousy beautician.
In the game of life, nothing is less important than the score at half time.
Humor
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
Life is just a phase you're going through; you'll get over it.
Wisdom
Smart people speak from experience. Smarter people, from experience, don't speak.
Politics
The trouble with political jokes is they get elected.
If voting changed anything they would make it illegal.
The reason academic politics are so bitter is that so little is at stake.
Work
There ought to be a better way to start the day than by getting up in the morning.
Faith
When at night you cannot sleep, talk to the Shepherd and stop counting sheep.
The Sexes
Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition.
Write a wise saying and your name will live forever.
Life
What a shame to tiptoe carefully through life, only to arrive safely at death.
It takes seventy-two muscles to frown, but only thirteen to smile.
Business
Nothing kills a bad product faster than great marketing.
There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go, if he doesn't mind who gets the credit.
A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.
Amateurs practice until they can get it right; professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.
Diet
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
Pets
If you want the best seat in the house, move the dog.
There is no snooze button on a cat who wants its breakfast

"The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day."
You don't have to be a sailor to understand what Henry Ward Beecher was saying. As Benjamin Franklin wrote, "The muses love the morning." Whether or not you consider yourself to be a "morning person", the quality of a day often depends on how you spend the first one or two precious hours. You have a choice. Focus on important, long-term projects that call for creativity and concentration (good); or read all the emails you were cc'd on (for no good reason), put out fires your boss started, and schedule a bunch of useless meetings (bad).
The first hour of the day is the best time to read anything that reminds you of your values and helps you focus on your goals. That's where great quotations come into play. A perfect place for a quote is the kitchen or office wall, right where you have your first cup of coffee or tea each day.
However you choose to spend that first hour, resolve to make the majority of your mornings count. You'll be navigating life more effectively in no time. Have a good morning and a great day.
