“Remember that other people may be totally wrong. But they don’t think so. Don’t condemn them. Any fool can do that. Try to understand them. Only wise, tolerant, exceptional people even try to do that.”

Try honest to see things from the other person’s point of view.

The most important thing in life is not simply to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence, and makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.

Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress.

Talk to someone about themselves and they’ll listen for hours.

There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.

We live in what virtually amounts to a museum – which does not happen to a lot of people.

You greet people and are fooled by their smiles. I greet people and I’m haunted by the pain in their eyes.

We as a people will heal. We will insure the well-being of each other.
