It's easier to make a good person better than to make a bad person good.
Michael Josephson
Image
Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.
Michael Josephson
Image
It is better to be unsuccessful pursuing a significant goal that being successful attaining an insignificant one.
Michael Josephson
Image
We judge our own character by our best intentions and most noble acts, but we will be judged by our last worst act.
Michael Josephson
Image
Gratitude is not a payment for a kindness but another form of gift.
