Any society that values wealth above freedom will lose its freedom, and will ultimately lose its wealth as well
W. Somerset MaughamThere is only one way to win hearts and that is to make oneself like unto those of whom one would be loved.
W. Somerset MaughamTo bear failure with courage is the best proof of character that anyone can give... You will find that people forget the failures of others very quickly.... My last piece of advice is not to let anyone see your mortification, but whatever you fancy people are saying about you to go on with your ordinary life as though nothing unpleasant had happened to you.
W. Somerset Maugham
