“if you want to keep happiness, you have to share it!”

Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.

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.

Success in dealing with people depends on sympathetic grasp of the other person’s viewpoint.

Take a chance! All life is a chance

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.

Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

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.

Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

When we have accepted the worst, we have nothing more to lose. And that automatically means we have everything to gain.

It isn’t work that makes you tired, it’s your mental attitude.

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.

Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.

An old man was asked what had robbed him of joy in his life. His reply was, “Things that never happened.”

It is because we know happiness that we want to be happy, and since nothing is more certain than our wanting to be happy, our notion of happiness guides us in determining the respective goods that then became objects of our desires.

Much of happiness is hope.

History is not the soil in which happiness grows. The periods of happiness in it are the blank pages of history.

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

Stop giving other people the power to control your happiness, your mind, and your life. If you don’t take control of yourself and your own life, someone else is bound to try.

While happiness is an end in itself, it is also the state of mind we can have right now.
