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

Don’t be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.

Knowledge isn’t power until it is applied.

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.

Believe that you will succeed, and you will.

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.
