Compliment more than you criticize.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.

Teach your child to hold his tongue; he'll learn fast enough to speak.

Man is a social animal.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

The artist doesn’t have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don’t have the time to read reviews.

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!

Being aware of a single shortcoming within yourself is far more useful than being aware of a thousand in someone else!

The day you stop caring what other people think of you, is the day your life begins.

It is far better to know our own weaknesses and failings than to point out those of others.

To criticize is to appreciate, to appropriate, to take intellectual possession, to establish in fine a relation with the criticized thing and to make it one's own.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
