Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

People support a world they helped create.

Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.

Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems.

The chronic kicker, even the most violent critic, will frequently soften and be subdued in the presence of a patient, sympathetic listener— a listener who will be silent while the irate fault-finder dilates like a king cobra and spews the poison out of his system.

If you want others to like you, if you want to develop real friendships, if you want to help others at the same time as you help yourself, keep this principle in mind: Become genuinely interested in other people.

You are going to survive. And good things are going to start to happen again. And one day you are going to look back and this will not even be such a bad thing
