The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, integrity and self-esteem.

But what is happiness except for the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

I have met men who are habitual liars. They have lied so long that they no longer can distinguish between the truth and a lie. Their sensitivity to sin has been almost completely deadened.

Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.

If it is any use to know it, I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven-eighths of it under water for every part that shows.

If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule: never lie to yourself.

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

We are all one family in the world. Building a community that empowers everyone to attain their full potential through each of us respecting each other's dignity, rights and responsibilities makes thee world a better place to live.

Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

The stability of the internal medium is a primary condition for the freedom and independence of certain living bodies in relation to the environment surrounding them.

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.

What the superior man seeks is in himself. What the small man seeks is in others.
