George Bernard Shaw was right. He summed it all up when he said: "The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not." So don't bother to think about it! Spit on your hands and get busy. Your blood will start circulating; your mind will start ticking-and pretty soon this whole positive upsurge of life in your body will drive worry from your mind. Get busy. Keep busy. It's the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth-and one of the best.

Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

Patience and perserverance will accomplish more in this world than a brilliant dash. Remember that when something goes wrong.

When we have a brilliant idea, instead of making others think it is ours, why not let them cook and stir the idea themselves.

Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.

If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don't want to be.
