“Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.”
― Stephen King

“Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an
endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of
the praise of the world?”
― Joseph Smith Jr., The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations

“You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.”
― Dr. Seuss
