When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.

People who talk only of themselves think only of themselves.

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.

Merely stating a truth isn't enough. The truth has to be made vivid, interesting, dramatic. You have to use showmanship.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

If you want enemies, excel your friends; but if you want friends, let your friends excel you.

By talking to yourself about the things you have to be grateful for you can fill your mind with thoughts that soar and sing.
