The best things in life are yours, if you can appreciate yourself.

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

criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurt his sense of importace and arouse resentment.

Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

The best argument is that which seems merely an explanation.

Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success.

Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress.
