Here are super amazing quotes from the legend
"Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success."
"You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind."
"Don’t be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter"
"No matter what happens, always be yourself."
"One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses."
"If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don’t want to be."
"Two men looked out from prison bars, one saw the mud, the other saw stars."
"The difference between appreciation and flattery? That is simple. One is sincere and the other is insincere. One comes from the heart out; the other from the teeth out. One is unselfish; the other selfish. One is universally admired; the other universally condemned."
"Control your temper. Remember, you can measure the size of a person by what makes him or her angry."
"Even God doesn’t propose to judge a man till his last days, why should you and I?"
"I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way under high heaven to get the best of an argument— and that is to avoid it. Avoid it as you would avoid rattlesnakes and earthquakes."
"If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep."
"Tell the audience what you’re going to say, say it; then tell them what you’ve said."
"It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about."
"The expression one wears on one’s face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one’s back."
"Control your temper. Remember, you can measure the size of a person by what makes him or her angry."
"If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I’ll tell you what you are."
"I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way under high heaven to get the best of an argument— and that is to avoid it. Avoid it as you would avoid rattlesnakes and earthquakes."
"If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep."
"The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way"
"Personally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn’t think about what I wanted. I thought about what they wanted. I didn’t bait the hook with strawberries and cream. Rather, I dangled a worm or grasshopper in front of the fish and said: “Wouldn’t you like to have that?” Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?"
"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, for your character is what you are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
"Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves."
"When I asked him – Mr.Henry Ford – if he ever worried, he replied: “No. I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe that every-thing will work out for the best in the end.” So what is there to worry about?"
"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave."
"Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto."
"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing."
"Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving."
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
"Be wiser than other people if you can; but do not tell them so."
I hope you found this helpful.
