Almost all unhappiness in life comes from the tendency to blame someone else.

Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.

Always concentrate on the most valuable use of your time. This is what separates the winners from the losers. Self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself.

The very act of accepting responsibility short-circuits and cancels out any negative emotions you may be experiencing.

The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success.

The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you.

Deal honestly and objectively with yourself; intellectual honesty and personal courage are the hallmarks of great character.
