“Acting without thinking is like shooting without aiming.”

Better to be occasionally cheated than perpetually suspicious.

Cheerfulness is among the most laudable virtues. It gains you the good will and friendship of others. It blesses those who practice it and those upon whom it is bestowed.

The man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck.

To get the most out of the world one must conscientiously strive to put the most into it. Life without worthy ideals becomes wholly unsatisfying, sour. If our supreme objective is to serve, no blow fate may administer can daunt us.
