When you hear a kind word spoken about a friend, tell him so.

Be kinder than necessary.

Drive inexpensive cars, but own the best house you can afford.

Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon

If you were to sell your character, would you get full retail or would it go for a bargain-basement price?

Don’t waste time waiting for inspiration. Begin, and inspiration will find you.

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