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.

The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

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.

Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

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.

You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.
