In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is - I will form good habits and become their slave.

So long as I can laugh, never will I be poor.

Cultivate the habit of laughter.

Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.

Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.

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

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.
