“When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.”

Believe you will be successful and you will.

Everybody in the world is seeking happiness – and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.

If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive.

If you do something for someone else, never remember. If someone does something for you, never forget.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do. But it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.

If you want to be a good conversationalist, be a good listener. To be interesting, be interested.

Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work.

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.

Our trouble is not ignorance, but inaction.

Forget yourself by becoming interested in others. Do every day a good deed that will put a smile of joy on someone’s face.

The world is filled with interesting things to do. Don’t lead a dull life in such a thrilling world.

Let’s never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let’s do as General Eisenhower does: let’s never waste a minute thinking about people we don’t like.

Take charge of your attitude. Don’t let someone else choose it for you.

You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you; and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.

But when once the earth has sucked up a dead man’s blood, there is no way to raise him up.

Some of us gave a little blood for the right to participate in the democratic process.

You have to go the way your blood beats. If you don’t live the only life you have, you won’t live some other life, you won’t live any life at all.

All beauty comes from beautiful blood and a beautiful brain.

The soul, which is spirit, can not dwell in dust; it is carried along to dwell in the blood.

Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.

The devil’s agents may be of flesh and blood, may they not?

Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint. Keep painting until you die.
