The Root of Joy

"The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful."

-- Brother David Steindl-Rast


"The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs."

-- Joan Didion


"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

-- Aristotle


"Committing to excellence means sharing the risk required in generating maximum returns and pursuing victory together. Effective team players know that achieving peak performance requires positive attitudes and inspiring beliefs on everyone's part. Sustaining peak performance requires humility, dignity and grace."

-- John J. Murphy
