The very best way in all the world to overcome self-consciousn ess and shyness is to get interested in other people and to think of them and, almost miraculously, your timidity will pass. Do something for other people. Practice deeds of kindness, acts of friendliness, and you'll be surprised to see what happens.
For better or worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.
Instead of condemning people, let's try to understand them. Let's try to figure out why they do what they do. That's a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.
Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in the English language.
Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think
Keep on raging - to stop the aging.
The rare individual who honestly satisfies this heart-hunger (praise) will hold people in the palm of his hand, and even the undertaker will be sorry when he dies

I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious / because the obvious is what people need to be told.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible.
Really important goals are accomplished by people who will keep trying even when there seems to be no hope.
Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours
