“One can win the attention and time and cooperation of even the most sought-after people by becoming genuinely interested in them.”

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

I’ve found that worry and irritation vanish into thin air the moment I open my mind to the many blessings I possess.

The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.

So if you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other persons will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

If we speak poorly about that which we do well, people will assume we perform poorly!

An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.

Arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot walks a lonely way.

It is the way we react to circumstances that determines our feelings.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Good leaders are scarce; so I’m following myself.

Suspicion is a virtue as long as its object is the public good, and as long as it stays within proper bounds. Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.

I enjoy countless hundreds pursuing me. I love those who love me the most. I am sort of flattered by men showing attention to me.

Pay less attention to what you hear about someone, and more to what you learn about them as you make the effort.

I think, with production, I pay very close attention. ‘Cause that’s my favorite thing in music. That’s the whole drive. That’s the reason.

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who comes near that precious jewel. Unfortunately, nothing.

For a long time, I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you’re a kid.

I love attention. If I see a gang of girls? That makes me dance even more!
