The Better Person Hidden Inside

“Heart” by Devann De Sousa

How You Treat Them Shows How You View Yourself

**Dennis Prager

Whatever you do, do it well

“If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music . . . Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.”

**Martin Luther King Jr.

Stay Strong!

“I Can resist everything in life, except temptation”

Remember the Virtues

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

**Mother Teresa

Important Distinction

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.”
**CS Lewis
