When ill luck besets us, to ease the tension we have only to remember that happiness is relative. The next time you are tempted to grumble about what has happened to you, why not pause and be glad that it is no worse than it is.

Hurting a man in his dignity is a crime.

Fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.

Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.

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

Let us praise even the slightest improvement. That inspires the other person to keep on improving.

Today is the only time we can possibly live.
