Naturalness is the easiest thing in the world to acquire, if you will forget yourself-forget about the impression you are trying to make.

Communication

There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.

Critics and Criticism

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

Facts

I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious -- because the obvious is what people need to be told.

Fear

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

Fun

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

Happiness

Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.

Mistakes

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

Philosophers and Philosophy

Tell me what gives a man or woman their greatest pleasure and I'll tell you their philosophy of life.

Present

Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Risk

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes the furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The “sure thing” boat never gets far from shore.

Success

The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.

Words

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
