Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory.

The man who lives for himself is a failure; the man who lives for others has achieved true success.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast." ~

There are some things you can't learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.

Never say anything to hurt anyone. Moreover . . . refrain from double talk, from shrewd and canny remarks that are designed to advance our interests at someone's disadvantage. We are to turn our back upon evil, and in every way possible, do good, help people and bring blessings into their lives.

Always remember that problems contain values that have improvement potential.

Go out of your way to talk optimistically about everything.
