A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.

Never explain — your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed — there's so little competition.

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.
