WEST POINT MOTTO

Risk more than others think is safe.
Care more than others think is wise.
Dream more than others think is practical.
Expect more than others think is possible.

RAISE YOUR IDEALS

One definition of Insanity is doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting a different result.

We cannot expect a higher and better result, if we refuse
to raise our standards or if we keep doing things which
do not bring about change in the quality of our lives.

Raising your standard means, raising what you demand
from yourself. It means a constant dissatisfaction with
what we have done and what we are and continue to strive
to surpass ourselves. We can declare to ourselves: "We can do
better than that." (L. Ortega)

FAMILY

When it's family,
You forgive them for they know not what they do.
When it's family,
You accept them, 'cause you have no choice but to,
When it's family, They're a mirror of the worst and the best in you,
And they always put you to the test,
And you always try to do your best,
And just pray to God to do the rest, when it's family.
And when it's family,
You trust them. And your heart is an open door.
When it's family, You tolerate, what you'd feel others for.
When it's family,
You love and hate and take, then give some more.
Somehow you justify mistakes,
Try to find some better way to solve
The day to day problems in the family.
(Dolly Parton)
