Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something.

Take care of your reputation. It's your most valuable asset.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance.

Love your work, then you will find pleasure in mastering it.
