If you want to be happy, set yourself a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes. Happiness is within you. It comes from doing some certain thing into which you can put all your thought and energy. If you want to be happy, get enthusiastic about something.

Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Constantly criticizing, condemning and complaining is what breaks most relationships. Instead of criticizing and condemning, figure out how you can solve the problem together. Instead of focusing on blaming the other person for what they did wrong, focus on how you can avoid the problem next time.

Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.

Criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home.

People like people who help them like themselves.

I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.

Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
