1. Friendship is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
2. Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
3. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
4. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
6. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
7. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
8. I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
9. Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
10. A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
