Quote

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

Look around the inhabited world; how few know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.

There are a ton of qualities that can help you succeed, and the more carefully a quality has been studied, the more you know it's worth your time and energy.

One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

Some people are more fluid than others at just being themselves and recognizing what's good about themselves.

If you have some respect for people as they are, you can be more effective in helping them to become better than they are.

Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.

Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

They who have reasoned ignorantly, or who have aimed at effecting their personal ends by flattering the popular feeling, have boldly affirmed that 'one man is as good as another;' a maxim that is true in neither nature, revealed morals, nor political theory.
