If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.

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

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

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh unless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.

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.

People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Never put off till tomorrow the fun you can have today.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.

View your life from your funeral: Looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn't? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what wouldn't you do?

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

There is only one time that is important—now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.

Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all—the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.
