The most important thing in life is not simply to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence, and makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.

It never hurts a fool to appear before an audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling.

So if you aspire to be a good conversationali st, be an attentive listener.

A talk is a voyage. It must be charted. The speaker who starts nowhere, usually gets there.

The resentment that criticism engenders can demoralize employees, family members and friends, and still not correct the situation that has been condemned.

Is enthusiasm important in selling? Yes, genuine, heartfelt enthusiasm is one of the most potent factors of success in almost any undertaking.

Appreciation is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.
