Notable quotes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

• \u201cIt isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cDon’t be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cYou can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cAny fool can criticize, complain, and condemn\u2014and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cWhen dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cEverybody in the world is seeking happiness\u2014and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cTalk to someone about themselves and they’ll listen for hours.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cActions speak louder than words, and a smile says, \u2018I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cPersonally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn\u2019t think about what I wanted. I thought about what they wanted. I didn’t bait the hook with strawberries and cream. Rather, I dangled a worm or grasshopper in front of the fish and said: “Wouldn’t you like to have that?”<\/li>
• \u201cWhy not use the same common sense when fishing for people?\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cWhen dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cYou can’t win an argument. You can’t because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cA man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cTo be interesting, be interested.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cNames are the sweetest and most important sound in any language.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cI have come to the conclusion that there is only one way under high heaven to get the best of an argument\u2014 and that is to avoid it. Avoid it as you would avoid rattlesnakes and earthquakes.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cIf You Want to Gather Honey, Don’t Kick Over the Beehive\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cAll men have fears, but the brave put down their fears and go forward, sometimes to death, but always to victory.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cWhy talk about what we want? That is childish. Absurd. Of course, you are interested in what you want. You are eternally interested in it. But no one else is. The rest of us are just like you: we are interested in what we want.\u201d<\/li>
• \u201cInstead of condemning people, let\u2019s try to understand them. Let\u2019s try to figure out why they do what they do. That\u2019s a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance, and kindness. \u201cTo know all is to forgive all.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
