“Don’t expect others to listen to your advice and ignore your example.”

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.

Earn your success based on service to others, not at the expense of others.

May our adversities make us strong. May our victories make us wise. May our actions make us proud.

Remember that the more you know, the less you fear.

Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people’s bad manners.

Make a list of twenty-five things you want to experience before you die. Carry it in your wallet or purse and refer to it often.

While earning your daily bread, be sure you share a slice with those less fortunate.

Perform your job better than anyone else can. That’s the best job security I know.

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

When you hug someone, never be the first to let go.

Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

Never underestimate your power to change yourself.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.

Kind words and good deeds are eternal. You never know where their influence will end.

You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.

Don’t talk too much or too soon.

Don’t talk too much. Don’t pop off. Don’t talk after the game until you cool off.

No one wants advice – only corroboration.

Your most expensive advice is the free advice you receive from your financially struggling friends and relatives.

You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway.

People are eager to comment on something when they themselves are not in the situation of doing it.

Just trust your instincts. There’s an old saying in golf, you’ve studied the swing many times, and you practice and practice, but when you stand over the ball, you just have to trust your swing. And you trust it. And if you don’t trust it, you’ll ruin it; your brain will take over.
