Daily Affirmation

People travel to wonder at
the height of mountains, at
the huge waves of the
sea, at the long courses of
rivers, at the vast compass
of the ocean, at the circular
motion of the stars, and they
pass themselves by
withoutwondering.     
     Saint Augustine

Optimism is essential to
achievement and it is
also the foundation of
courage and true progress.
-- Nicholas Murray Butler
