Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.

A man will remain a rag-picker as long as he has only the vision of a rag-picker.

You will always have to live with yourself, and it is to your best interest to see that you have good company - a clean, pure, straight, honest, upright, generous, magnanimous companion.

Doing common things uncommonly well.

Self-confidence carries conviction; it makes other people believe in us.

Self-Control is the very essence of character. To be able to look a man straight in the eye, calmly and deliberately, without the slightest ruffle of temper under extreme provocation, gives a sense of power which nothing else can give. To feel that you are always, not sometimes, master of yourself, gives a dignity and strength to character, buttresses it, supports it on every side, as nothing else can. This is the culmination of thought mastery.

We lend power to the things we fear!
