Live so as to have a quiet conscience.

There are some things you can give another person, and some things you cannot give him, except as he is willing to reach out and take them, and pay the price of making them a part of himself. This principle applies to studying, to developing talents, to absorbing knowledge, to acquiring skills, and to the learning of all the lessons of life.

In answer to the question, "Shouldn't the commandments be rewritten?," someone thoughtfully replied, "No, they should be reread."

Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself - things could always be worse and they are for someone else!

Go ahead with your life, your plans.... Don't waste time by stopping before the interruptions have started.

Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Life moves in one direction only - and each day we are faced with an actual set of circumstances, not with what might have been, not with what we might have done, but with what is, and with where we are now- and from this point we must proceed; not from where we were, not from where we wish we were - but from where we are.
