Measure your wealth by what you'd have left if you lost all your money.

If someone offers you a breath mint, accept it.

Don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.

No partnership matters more. The relationship with the one you marry provides 90 percent of your happiness and 90 percent of your misery.

Remember that life's big changes rarely give advance warning.

Spend your time and energy creating, not criticizing.

Never underestimate your power to change yourself.
