You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in
other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people
interested in you.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing
which ones to keep. Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better. A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs
--jolted by every pebble in the road. Friends are like melons. Shall I tell you why? To find a good one,
you must a hundred try. A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at
night, and in between he does what he wants to do. We can do no great things…only small things with great love. It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may
have the opportunity to turn him into a friend. One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive
everybody, everything, every night before you go to bed. Laughter is an instant vacation. Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at. The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more
artistic than to love others In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their
dreams. The ultimate test of a man’s conscience may be his willingness to
sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks
will not be heard. Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching. The best way to knock the chip off your neighbor’s shoulder is to
pat him on the back. A real friend never gets in your way - unless you happen to be on
the way down. The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on
running. Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise--then you
will discover the fullness of your life. Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were
going to die tomorrow. Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they
don’t want to impress people they don’t like. Memory is a child walking along the seashore. You never can tell
what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured
things. Service is the rent you pay for room on this planet. The beginning is the most important part of any work. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out – it's the grain
of sand in your shoe. Courtesy is the one coin you can never have too much of or be
stingy with. Come out of the circle of time, and into the circle of love. To look at something as though we had never seen it before requires
great courage. Silent gratitude isn’t much good to anyone. Most of us spend our lives as if we have another one in the bank. The world steps aside to let any man pass if he knows where he is
going. People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when
the sun's out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is
revealed only if there is light within. Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can
start from now and make a brand new ending. Worry is as useless as a handle on a snowball. .
