Expecting The Best Means That You Put Your Whole Heart (i.e. The Central Essence Of Your Personality) Into What You Want To Accomplish. People Are Defeated In Life Not Because Of Lack Of Ability, But For Lack Of Wholeheartedness. They Do Not Wholeheartedly Expect To Succeed. Their Heart Isn't In It, Which Is To Say, They Themselves Are Not Fully Given.

I Sometimes Think We Ought To Bring A Bill Before Congress Changing Our National Symbol From The Eagle To The Buffalo, Because We Are More Like The Buffalo Than The Eagle. The Eagle Is A Powerful Bird. It Flies Alone. It Rises Up Into The Sky With Authority. It Is Master Of All It Surveys. The Eagle Is An Individualist And Was Selected From Among The Rest Of The Birds To Be Our Symbol. But The Buffalo Was Never Alone. It Always Ran In A Herd With Other Buffaloes. And, Friends, I Call Your Attention That The Buffaloes Are Gone From The Open Range, But The Eagles Are Still Soaring.

God Never Made Anyone Else Exactly Like You, And He Never Will Again. Thank Him For Yourself And Then For All The Rest Of His Glorious Handiwork.
