We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

To repay evils with kindness is the religion I was taught to practise, and this will forever be my rule.

When you see that many people with a smile on their face, then you must be doing something right.

I'm no Buddhist monk, and I can't say I'm in love with renunciation in itself, or traveling an hour or more to print out an article I've written, or missing out on the N.B.A. Finals. But at some point, I decided that, for me at least, happiness arose out of all I didn't want or need, not all I did.

I've had to learn to fight all my life - got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.

Just because a situation is grim doesn't mean you don't have every right to smile.

Abuse if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated, you will be thought to have deserved it.

I like to smile when its natural. I'm not mad or anything. That's my style.

Smile, it's free therapy.

I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them.
