Man does not live as he thinks, he thinks as he lives. The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does. If you smile at me I will understand, because that is something everyone everywhere does in the same language. Most of us will never do great things, but we can do small things in a great way. It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
Winners look for opportunities, and when they can't find any, they make them. Not to decide is to decide. He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity. The best way to win an argument is to avoid it. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
