Bargain like a gypsy, but pay like a gentleman.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.

No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence.

Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer.

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.

The better you are at communicating negotiating, and handling your fear of rejection, the easier life is.
