The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back.

Don't fuss about trifles. Don't permit little things-the mere termites of life-to ruin your happiness.

By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.

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

If you want to know how to make people shun you and laugh at you behind your back and even despise you, here is the recipe: Never listen to anyone for long. Talk incessantly about yourself. If you have an idea while the other person is talking, don't wait for him or her to finish: bust right in and interrupt in the middle of a sentence.

Close your eyes. You might try saying. . . something like this: "The sun is shining overhead. The sky is blue and sparkling. Nature is calm and in control of the world-and I, as nature's child, am in tune with the Universe." Or-better still-pray!

(A smile) costs nothing, but creates much.
