“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.”

Face the thing that seems overwhelming and you will be surprised how your fear will melt away.

Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes them strive to justify themselves. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts their sense of importance, and arouses resentment.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Listen first. Give your opponents a chance to talk. Let them finish. Do not resist, defend or debate. This only raises barriers. Try to build bridges of understanding.

You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

The man who starts out going nowhere, generally gets there.

Everyday is a new life to a wise man.

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

I’ve found that worry and irritation vanish into thin air the moment I open my mind to the many blessings I possess.

The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.

So if you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other persons will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

If we speak poorly about that which we do well, people will assume we perform poorly!

Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.

Being seventy is not a sin. It’s not a joy, either.

It’s hard to find true love in the age of digital sex.

Why were you so old when we met? I answered with the truth: Age isn’t how old you are but how old you feel.

I’m not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I’m living on.

At an early age, my mother gave me this feeling that anything is possible, and I believe that.

Never bored, so I’ll never get old.

Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you’re aboard, there’s nothing you can do.
