A narrow mind and a fat head invariably come on the same person.

Books! I dunno if I ever told you this, but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Cheerfulness is that quality which enables one to make others happy. It takes its origin half in personal goodness, and half in the belief of the personal goodness of others.

Duty does not require any person to submit to the destruction of his personal ambitions and the right to live his own life in his own way.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.

Every person who ever thought he had a right to assert, and went boldly and asserted it, himself, or jointly with others that shared his convictions, was a direct actionist.

I don't try to imagine a personal god; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.

I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.

I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing

I readily absorb ideas from every source, frequently starting where the last person left off

I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.

I've learned one thing: you can only really get to know a person after a row. Only then can you judge their true character!

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

One of the greatest discoveries a person makes, one of their great surprises, is to find they can do what they were afraid they couldn't do.

One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can't be fixed.

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.

Personally, I enjoy working about 18 hours a day. Besides the short catnaps I take each day, I average about four to five hours of sleep per night.

Scientist believe in things, not in persons

Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated.

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals

Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success.

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping .

The person who takes no chances generally has to take whatever is left when others are through choosing.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.

There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.

There is only one way... to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.

When the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking what kind of a person you are. The dog is not judging you.

Your personal nature seeks its paradise.
