Have the courage to live -- Anyone could die.
Language is the dress of thought.
Freedom is the right to be wrong, not the right to do wrong.
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
A few people get up bright and early; most of us just get up early.
In war there is no second prize for the runner-up.
Shared joy is double joy and shared sorrow is half sorrow.
Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing.
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.
There is a great difference between knowing a thing and understanding it.
Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything that comes in second.
Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket.
There is no hopeless situation; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them.
Friends are those rare people who ask how we are? and then wait to hear the answer.
Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.
A habit is something you can do without thinking, that is why most of us have some many of them.
Everyone one is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
He is not an honest man who burned his tongue and does not tell the company that the soup is hot.
It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you could do only a little. Do whatever you can.
You can make more friends in a month by being interested in them, then in ten years by trying to get them interested in you.
Some feel honored when they are put at the table where the best linen and china are laid. But the one who are really honored are those who are set at the table where the dishes don't match and the eating utensils are recruited from the kitchen. They are the true and trusted friends who do not need to be complimented or impressed and who would never think of criticizing. And, therefore, the most honored.
You don't get to choose how you are going to die, or when. You can only decide how you are going to live --- Now.
We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while other judge us by what we have already done.
Money cannot buy happiness, but did you ever try to buy anything without it?
Be courteous to all but intimate with a few and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world; whereas nothing rises quicker than dust, straw and feathers.
Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of others.
If the poor man cannot always get meat, the rich man cannot always digest it.
The old believe everything, the middle aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
First prize is not a gold statue, but is something to be proud of.
Winning a medal is a lot easier than wearing it.
A busy man always has time to do one more thing; the lazy man never have time to do anything. (Prof. Edward Demmings)
And the greatness comes in and you are really tested when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty. Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
Be nice to the people on your way up because you are going to meet the same people on your way down.
If you cannot get the people under you to do what you want them to do, even when they want to do something else, you don't belong in the executive suite and you probably won't get there.
People who like people are the most successful people in the world.
Everywhere is at a walking distance if you have the time.
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.
The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end in an awful hurry.
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
Money doesn't always bring happiness. People with $10 million are no happier than people with $9 million.
Experience is the one thing you have plenty of when you're too old to get the job.
One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
Never go to bed mad, stay up and fight.
Laugh and the world will laugh with you, snore and you sleep alone.
The shortest distance between two points is always under construction.
Be like a postage stamp, stick to one thing until you get there.
A professional is someone who can do his best work when he doesn't feel like it.
The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it, if you can dream it, you can become it.
There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.
One good thing about being young is that you are not experienced enough to know you cannot possibly do the things you are doing.
Whoever says money cannot buy you happiness doesn't know where to shop.
The greatest truths are the simplest, and so are the greatest men.
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you are scared to death.
True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
It's taken me all my life to understand that it is not necessary to understand everything.
The really great man is the man who makes every man feel great.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
The people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the concerns.
It's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone.
Life is not a laughing matter - but can you imagine having to live without laughing?
Cheers!
