To do good for ten years is not enough; do bad things for one day and it is too much.
It is not the voice that commands the story; it is the ear.
I like to look strong and commanding.
[confronting the Tiger tank commander] Big Joe: Look, Mac, you and us? We're just soldiers, right? We don't even know what this war's all about. All we do is we fight and we die and for what? We don't get anything out of it. In about a half an hour t...
For the first five years of your son's life treat him as a prince, for the next ten years as a slave, then as a friend for the rest of his life.

We cannot be too careful about the words we use; we start out using them and they end up using us.
Self-pity never leads to happiness. Remind yourself that the situation may not be ideal, but it’s rarely the worst that could ever happen.
There is a big difference between being self-ist and being selfish— putting yourself first doesn’t mean you have to put everyone else last.

Having a poverty mentality leaves you focusing on all the things you don’t have, when in reality you probably already have everything you need.
The only way to get an understanding of the true wealth in your life is to acknowledge all the things you have to be grateful for.
Being generous is not just about the decisions you make with your wallet. Being generous with your time and energy is just as important.
Nobody from your past should be held responsible for your future. The only person accountable for your future is you.
