If you want to be happy, learn to be alone without being lonely. Learn that being alone does not mean being unhappy. The world is full of plenty of interesting and enjoyable things to do and people who can enrich your life.

It is easier to be grateful for the things we have than to the people who have helped us get them.

When it comes to building character, wealth, good looks, athletic ability and even a high IQ are more likely to be impediments than advantages.

We judge our own character by our best intentions and most noble acts, but we will be judged by our last worst act.

Character determines how we lead our lives, how we deal with life's unearned fortunes and misfortunes and how we make choices that determine how those fortunes and misfortunes work to make us what we become.

When you compete with someone as good or better than you, you may not always win, but you never lose.
