When facing a difficult task, act as though it is impossible to fail. If you're going after Moby Dick, take along the tartar sauce.
Change air conditioner filters every three months.
Remember that overnight success usually takes about fifteen years.
Leave everything a little better than you found it.
Cut out complimentary newspaper articles about people you know and mail the articles to them with notes of congratulations.
Patronize local merchants even if it costs a bit more.
Fill your gas tank when it falls below one quarter full.
Don't expect money to bring you happyness.
Never snap your fingers to get someone's attention.
N matter how dire the situation, keep your cool.
When paying cash, ask for a discount.

Don't spread yourself too thin. Learn to say no politely and quickly.
Keep overhead low
Keep expectations high
Accept pain and disappointment as part of life
Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person.
See problems as opportunities for growth and self mastery
Don't believe people when they ask you to be honest with them.
Don't expect life to be fair
Become an expert in time management
Lock you car even if it's parked in your own driveway
Never go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink
Judge your success by the degree that you're enjoying peace, health, and love.

Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow, tomorrow you might not still need to do it.
If the government owes you, file early; if you owe them, file at the last minute.
If you're sick, go to work anyway. Who wants to waste sick days on being sick?
Don't go round saying the world owes you a living; it owes you nothing. It was here first. --Mark Twain
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. --Mark Twain
OK...if you get a chance, read Mark Twain.

Each difficult moment has the potential to open my eyes and open my heart.. 
Determination, patience and courage are the only things needed to improve any situation.
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
People will forget the things you say, they will forget your name, and the things you do. But they will never forget the way you made them feel.
Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.

Learn to handle a handsaw and a hammer
Take a nap on Sunday afternoons
Compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home
Make the bed when you're an overnight visitor
Contribute five percent of you income to charity
Don't leave a ring in the bathtub
Don't wst time playing cards
When tempted to critisize your parents, spouse or children, bite your tongue.
Never under estimate the power of love
Don't bore people with your problems. When someone asks how you feel, say "Terrific, never better". When they ask, "How's business?" reply, "Excellent, and getting better every day"
Learn to disagree without being disagreeable
Be tactful. never alienate anyone on purpose
Hear both sides before judging
Refrain from envy. It's the source of much unhappiness
