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. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at al, but our hate is turning our days and nights into a hellish turmoil.

When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of the other person's good points, we won't have to resort to flattery so cheap and false that it can be spotted almost before it is out of the mouth.

This is the only chance you will ever have on earth with this exciting adventure called life. So why not plan it, and try to live it as richly, as happily as possible?

For better or worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.

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

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

There is no such thing as constructive criticism.
