Some people will insult your intelligence by suddenly being nice or nicer to you once you make it … or they think you have.

To evade arrogance, remind yourself (from time to time) that your talent or success could have been better. To be thankful, remind yourself (every now and then) that your illness or failure could have been worse.

The environment that most influences our health and our chances of attaining wealth is the one between our ears.

What is deemed a nightmare by one person another deems an adventure.
