Do you know someone you would like to change and regulate and improve? Good! That is fine. I am all in favor of it, But why not begin on yourself? From a purely selfish standpoint, that is a lot more profitable than trying to improve others - yes, and a lot less dangerous.

I honestly believe that this is one of the greatest secrets to true peace of mind -- a decent sense of values. We could annihilate 50 percent of all our worries at once if we would develop a sort of private gold standard -- a gold standard of what things are worth to us in terms of our lives.

We move toward what we picture in our minds.

Nobody is more persuasive than a good listener

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

Face the thing that seems overwhelming and you will be surprised how your fear will melt away.

Do the very best you can.
