Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else. -Will Rogers

Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.

If wemanage conflict constructively, we harness its energy for creativity and development.

We owealmost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who havediffered.

Sometimes the man of action is the fellow who has just got both his feat in hot water.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain isnot due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you havethe power to revoke at any moment.

Whohath not known ill fortune, never knew himself, or his own virtue.

Another form of wastefulness is expenditure of words beyond the income of ideas.

As contagion of sickness makes sickness, contagion oftrust can make trust.

Peoplespend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idledreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill theemptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed tosearch was within.

Whenyou lose, don't lose the lesson.

The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is.
