“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”

“Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.”

“The expression one wears on one's face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one's back.”

“If some people are so hungry for a feeling of importance that they actually go insane to get it, imagine what miracle you and I can achieve by giving people honest appreciation this side of insanity.”

“Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.”
