One of Lois's favorite quotes is:""Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom." ~ George Smith Patton
"Nothing can sabotage winning, except for fear of losing. Success usually lies just beyond failure."
Successful people are prepared to fail more, and they are more persistent than others.
Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them.

Courage is resistence to fear -mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

Honesty is the best policy.
Do not trust those who lie to you. Likewise, never lie to someone who trusts you.
"I let my compassion turn into action."
âAll human evil comes from this: manâs being unable to sit still in a room.â
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
