Never settle for the crumbs of life.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Use wisely your power of choice.

Realize how good you really are.

Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday.

Live simply so that others may simply live.

The road you can talk about is not the road you can walk on.

Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Don’t ask ‘Why’, ask instead, ‘Why not’.

A light here required a shadow there.

People spend money when and where they feel good.

How hard it is to sleep in the middle of life.
