The thing is to get the work done.
Give your problem all the thought you possibly can before a solution is reached. But when the matter is settled and over with, worry not at all.
If we want to make friends, let’s greet people with animation and enthusiasm.
If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems.
If you and I want to stir up a resentment tomorrow that may rankle across the decades and endure until death, just let us indulge in a little stinging criticism – no matter how certain we are that it is justified.
We all have possibilities we don’t know about. We can do things we don’t even dream we can do.
Get the facts. Let’s not even attempt to solve our problems without first collecting all the facts in an impartial manner.
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another’s keeping .
Remember that other people may be totally wrong. But they don’t think so. Don’t condemn them. Any fool can do that. Try to understand them. Only wise, tolerant, exceptional people even try to do that.
No one likes to feel that he or she is being sold some-thing or told to do a thing. We much prefer to feel that we are buying of our own accord or acting on our own ideas. We like to be consulted about our wishes, our wants, our thoughts.
No matter what happens, always be yourself.
The best things in life are yours, if you can appreciate yourself.
Cash can buy, but it takes enthusiasm to sell.
Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism – and wars.
Act as if you were already happy and that will tend to make you happy.
Winning friends begins with friendliness.
The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
He who treads softly goes far.
