Put yourself in the other man's place and then you will know why he thinks certain things and does certain deeds.

What boy well raised can compare with your street gamin who has the knowledge and the shrewdness of a grown-up broker.

History: gossip well told.

Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.

Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.

Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it.

Gossip is only the lack of a worthy memory.
