- Our happiness is not determined by the (material) worth of the things we own; rather our happiness is derived from the value we place on the things we own.
- It is wise to speak less of what you know because, amongst other reasons, by so doing you humbly and quietly acknowledge the fact that there is much more than what you know and that there’s a lot more you need to know.
- For every truth, there is a lie once told (or said) about it.
- Looking good is good practice but doing just as well or even better in other areas of your life is good living!
- You cannot tell the worth of some individuals until there is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Great men are not only known for great speeches but are also known for doing great things in spite of great odds.
- Sometimes, our nightmares are hard reminders of our worst struggles. In a way, they speak to us: Remember how far you’ve come and whence you came.
- If you understand the ‘why,’ you will not forget the ‘how.’ The trick to remembering the ‘how’ and the ‘what’ is grasping the meaning of the ‘why.’ When learning a new subject, one of the most crucial questions is: ‘Why?’
- While no one has it all, some certainly have it more. Nonetheless, what is more important is how well you make use of what you have. More often than not we focus on what we don’t have rather than on what we do have. Instead of asking, ‘How can I get what I don’t have?’ why not ask, ‘What can I do with what I have? How can I make better use of what I have now?’?
- If love is not real and true love does not exist, then why do heartbreaks hurt so much?
- Sometimes we all make foolish mistakes. That does not make you a fool. It only makes you human. The way we respond to such mistakes is what counts the most. Our reaction matters more because at this point wisdom and foolishness part ways.
