Death is God's way of telling you not to be such a wise guy.

People around you are quick to read your attitude of thought toward them. Inner thoughts and feelings are communicated in ways other than by the spoken word.

Most men have worried about things which never happened, and more men have been killed by worry than by hard work.

Study words so that you can use them significantly, effectively, worthily.

Tact, the kind of tact you should cultivate, is not a form of deception or make-believe, but a cultivated taste which gives fine perception in seeing and doing what is best under all circumstances. There is nothing which will so readily bring you into favor, or disarm an opponent, as the right use of tact.

Those who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, have practiced ...the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose.

There are many fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is yours is the present.
