The greatest measure of a human being isn't how he handles himself when things are going well, but how he handles himself when things are going badly, when defeat comes.

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively.

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only the best, be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.

The greatest measure of a human being isn't how he handles himself when things are going well, but how he handles himself when things are going badly, when defeat comes.
