Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

Do not be awe struck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can.

Getting along with the gang in one place is not any harder than getting along in another. It depends about 98 percent on your own behavior.

Picturize, prayerize, actualize.

The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

Become a possibilitarian.

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.
