The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

If half a century of living has taught me anything at all, it has taught me that nothing can bring you peace but yourself.

Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way. When you're afraid, keep your mind on what you have to do...if you have been thoroughly prepared, you will not be afraid. We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.

If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
