“The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another’s keeping .”

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.

Improving yourself is a lot more profitable than trying to improve others.

Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.

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

People do things for “their” reasons, not ours. So find their reasons.

The life of many a person could probably be changed if only someone would make him feel important.

Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.

The world is so full of people who are grabbing and self-seeking. So the rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage. He has little competition.

If you want others to like you, if you want to develop real friendships, if you want to help others at the same time as you help yourself, keep this principle in mind: Become genuinely interested in other people.

People aren’t interested in you. They’re interested in themselves.

If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

The way to defeat fear: decide on a course of conduct and follow it. Keep so busy and work so hard that you forget about being afraid.

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.

Learning is an active process. We learn by doing.. Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.
