"Never complain about your troubles; they are responsible for more than half of your income."
"The purpose of learning to employ every minute properly is to unclutter our hours, deliver us of feverish activity and earn us true leisure."
"Someone has well said, "Success is a journey, not a destination." Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them."
"To get all there is out of living, we must employ our time wisely, never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute. "
