Man is the artificer of his own happiness.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

Whan a dog runs at you, whistle for him.

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in Paradise. Love your life.

That man is richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.

A man is rich in proportion to the things he can afford to let alone.

This life is not for complaint, but for satisfaction.

Whate'er we leave to God, God does and blesses us.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

Only he is successful in his business who makes that pursuit which affords him the highest pleasure sustain him.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

What a man thinks of himself, that is what determines, or rather indicates, his fate.

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand....Simplify, simplify.

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.

He is blessed over all mortals who loses no moment of the passing life.

Only that day dawns to which we are awake.

Events, circumstances, etc., have their origin in ourselves. They spring from seeds which we have sown.

Things do not change; we change.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
