Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success.

You can't conquer reality by running away from it.

The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what the task may be. This is a habit followed by all successful people since the beginning of time. Therefore I saith the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.

Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it.

I will laugh at the world. And most of all, I will laugh at myself for man is most comical when he takes himself too seriously.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.
