There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Word of mouth is the best medium of all.

Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.

There is no greater glory than love, nor any greater punishment than jealousy.

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.

If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

If one of two lovers is loyal, and the other jealous and false, how may their friendship last, for Love is slain!

Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem or saying a prayer.

If you want an interesting party sometime, combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone.

The most important thing in the world is family and love.

He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.

You know, my friends, with what a brave carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house; favored old barren reason from my bed, and took the daughter of the vine to spouse.

Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see.

A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy.

Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet them on your way down.

The best way out is always through.

Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided.

Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'
