Nerves provide me with energy.... It's when I don't have them, when I feel at ease, that I get worried. Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude. Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never is, but always to be blest. If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer. Not my will, but thine, be done. Children have become so expensive that only the poor can afford them. If you desire many things, many things will seem but a few. The secret of boring people lies in telling them everything. No man is defeated without until he has first been defeated within. Hatred is self-punishment. A secretary must think like a man, act like a lady, look like a girl and work like a dog. Sweat plus sacrifice equals success. The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body. No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune. Words and sentences are subjects of revision; paragraphs and whole compositions are subjects of prevision. Learn to drink the cup of life as it comes. Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps. Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others. Oftentimes nothing profits more than self-esteem, grounded on what is just and right and well-managed. Chance favors those in motion.
