The Crown. Place it upon your head and you assume a different post-tranquil yet radiating assurance. Never show doubt, never lose your dignity beneath the crown, or it will not fit. It will seem to be destined for one more worthy. Do not wait for a coronation; the greatest emporers crown themselves.

Always say less than necessary.

No moment is wasted if you pay attention and learn the lessons contained in every experience.

Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay.

The worst thing is to sit and whine and complain and obsess about money as if that were the only sign of your worth as a human.
