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

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.

Remember that how you say something is as important as what you say.

Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.

Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something.

I never expect to lose. Even when I’m the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech.

Grind it out. Hanging on just one second longer than your competition makes you the winner.

Become someone’s hero.

Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.

Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.

I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.

I’m only good at being bad.

Loss is not as bad as wanting more.

Everybody is friends when things are bad enough.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

Bad leaders care about who is right, good leaders care about who is right.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.
