Develop serenity and quiet attitudes through your conversation. Depending upon the words we use and the tone in which we use them, we can talk ourselves into being nervous, high-strung, and upset. By our speech, we can also achieve quiet reactions. Talk peaceful to be peaceful.

Only the person who risks is truly free. A man's conquest of himself dwarfs the conquest of Mt. Everest.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Learn from both your mistakes and successes because if you learn only from your mistakes you will only learn more errors

The controlled person is a powerful person. He who always keeps his head will get ahead.

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Optimism, when applied to your life, develops strength and peace within you.
