The way to defeat fear: decide on a course of conduct and follow it. Keep so busy and work so hard that you forget about being afraid.

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.

Criticism of others is futile and if you indulge in it often you should be warned that it can be fatal to your career.

If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a victory sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent's good will.

Don't fuss about trifles. Don't permit little things-the mere termites of life-to ruin your happiness.

By criticizing, we do not make lasting changes and often incur resentment.

Three-fourths of the people you will ever meet are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you.
