Flattery is telling the other person precisely what he thinks about himself.

One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that at one time half of all the beds in our hospitals were reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who had collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives — if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: “Have no anxiety about the morrow”; or the words of Sir William Osler: "Live in day-tight compartments."

Let's not allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. Remember "Life is too short to be little".

Improving yourself is a lot more profitable than trying to improve others.

Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. To someone who has seen a dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds.

Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

Once I did bad and that I heard ever. Twice I did good, but that I heard never.
