Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

"In he long run we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our responsibilities."

"We act as though confort and luxury were the chief requirements in life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about."

Do it this very moment! Don't put it off-don't wait! There's no use in doing a kindness If you do it a day too late.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

"Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict."

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser - in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
