At the end of your days, be leaning forwards, not falling backwards.

Kind words and good deeds are eternal. You never know where their influence will end.

If your life is free of failures, you're not taking enough risks.

Instruction for life: Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. Follow the three R's: - Respect for self. - Respect for others. - Responsibility for all your actions. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

Believe in miracles but don't depend on them. When you hear kind word spoken about a friend, tell him so. Spoil your spouse, not your children. Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language. To help your children turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money.

Judge your success by what you had to give up to get it.

If you need to bring in a business partner, make sure your partner brings along some money.
