No one likes to feel that he or she is being sold some-thing or told to do a thing. We much prefer to feel that we are buying of our own accord or acting on our own ideas. We like to be consulted about our wishes, our wants, our thoughts.

Do things for others and you'll find your self-consciousness evaporating like morning dew.

There is one all-important law of human conduct. If we obey that law, we shall almost never get into trouble. In fact, that law, if obeyed, will bring us countless friends and constant happiness. But the very instant we break the law, we shall get into endless trouble. The law is this: Always make the other person feel important.

People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves - morning, noon and after dinner.

The best things in life are yours, if you can appreciate yourself.

By all means take thought for the tomorrow, yes, careful thought and planning and preparation. But have no anxiety.

If we speak poorly about that which we do well... people will assume we perform poorly!
