Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

Never mistake activity for achievement.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It’s courage that counts.

The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.
