If you can be kind and considerate for one day, then you can be for another. It won't cost you a penny in the world. Begin today.

By all means take thought for the tomorrow, yes, careful thought and planning and preparation. But have no anxiety.

Personally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn’t think about what I wanted. I thought about what they wanted. I didn't bait the hook with strawberries and cream. Rather, I dangled a worm or grasshopper in front of the fish and said: "Wouldn't you like to have that?" Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?

When we have accepted the worst, we have nothing more to lose. And that automatically means we have everything to gain.

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

If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I'll tell you what you are.

If you want to be a good conversationalist, be a good listener. To be interesting, be interested.
