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

Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.

Give your problem all the thought you possibly can before a solution is reached. But when the matter is settled and over with, worry not at all.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Become genuinely interested in other people.

If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.

Why talk about what we want? That is childish. Absurd. Of course, you are interested in what you want. You are eternally interested in it. But no one else is. The rest of us are just like you: we are interested in what we want.
