No one ever gets far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.

Play needs direction as well as work.

Meanness is more in half-doing than in omitting acts of generosity.

Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.

Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of your head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and never waste a minute thinking about your enemies.

Seeing with better eyes We can recognize that the offender is a valuable human being who struggles with the same needs, pressures, and confusions that we struggle with. We will recognize that the incident really may not have been about us in the first place. Instead it was about the wrongdoer's misguided attempt to meet his or her own needs. As we regard offenders from this point of view (regardless of whether they repent and regardless of what they have done or suffered), we will be in a position to forgive them.
