Stars do not pull each other down to be more visible; they shine brighter.

Your father you esteem.Your mother you pamper.Your relatives you regard.Your friends you value.Your neighbors you respect.Your enemies you pardon.

Beautiful silence is better than ugly speech.

If you want people to dance to your tune, sing beautiful songs.

Love your friends with your eyes closed, but love your enemies with both eyes open.

Cheerfulness will help you draw strangers, cleverness will help gain acquaintances, faithfulness will help you keep companions, and kindness will help you multiply friends.

Don't make excuses for your mistakes.Don't try to please your enemies.Don't run from your responsibilities.Don't force your opinions on others.Don't complain about things you can change.Don't compare yourself to anyone.Don't let undeserving people into your life.

Hear others, and you will be heard.Understand others, and you will be understood.Help others, and you be will be helped.Love others, and you will be loved.

Marry your future, court your present; divorce your past.
