How To Live With Yourself

Under most normal circumstances of life, the mature individual is both hopeful and cheerful. He is able to maintain this outlook not only because he is optimistic about the present, but also because he as investments in the future. The immature person can invest only in the present, if at all. He is concerned with immediate results, for he does not have the patience to wait out the culmination of a long process. Thus it takes a certain amount of maturity to enjoy such pleasure as working in the garden. The gardener does not receive his gratification merely from such tasks as planting bulbs in the fall- he looks forward to the spring, when his garden will be a mass of bloom, all the results of the fall planting.

  • I have such poor vision I can date anybody.
  • I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
  • Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.
  • When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.
  • Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
  • There are no secrets better kept than the secrets that everybody guesses.
  • My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world.
  • He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.
  • It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.
  • A ship in harbor is safe -- but that is not what ships are built for.

When people are bored,it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All times are beautiful for those who maintain joy within them;
but there is no happy or favourable time for those with disconsolate or orphaned souls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a man wants his dreams to come true,he must wake up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blame yourself if you have no branches or leaves;don't accuse the sun of partiality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The man who cannot believe in himself cannot believe in anything else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They conquer who believe they can.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fear is the most damnable,damaging thing to human personality in the whole world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He that fears not the future may enjoy the present.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The great virtue in life is real courage that knows how to face facts and live beyond them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and of true progress.
