Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Dale Carnegie
Image

Dale Carnegie
Image
No matter what happens, always be yourself.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Dale Carnegie

Don't Criticize, Condemn, Or Complain.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Close your eyes. You might try saying. . . something like this: The sun is shining overhead. The sky is blue and sparkling. Nature is calm and in control of the world-and I, as nature's child, am in tune with the Universe. Or-better still-pray!
