Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
In all the world, rich people are very unpopular.
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.
Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years.
The world is getting more connected through technology and travel. Cuisines are evolving. Some people are scared of globalization, but I think people will always take pride in cultural heritage.
The cost of college education today is so high that many young people are giving up their dream of going to college, while many others are graduating deeply in debt.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous.

Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.
Research has shown that people who volunteer often live longer.
When you realize who the good people are in your life, you're so lucky.
It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.
Never expect people to treat you any better than you treat yourself.
In the scope of a happy life, a messy desk or an overstuffed coat closet is a trivial thing, yet I find — and I hear from other people that they agree — that getting rid of clutter gives a disproportionate boost to happiness.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
I see harm reduction as a way of engaging people as part of that path to recovery.
