Don't ask a man what is important to him. Watch how he spends his time

If we speak poorly about that which we do well... people will assume we perform poorly!

When dealing with people, let us remember that we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. ...Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurt his sense of importace and arouse resentment.

Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.

Praise is like sunlight to the warm human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellow the warm sunshine of praise.
