Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it."

Everybody in the world is seeking happiness - and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.

Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.

My popularity, my happiness and sense of worth depend to no small extent upon my skill in dealing with people.

The only way on Earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it.

Arouse in the other person an eager want.

The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use?
