“Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous red head.”
“Only rarely can we repay those people who helped us, but we can pass that help along to others.”
“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimisim a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. ”
“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work - and realizing what opportunity is and what isn’t."
“If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do."
“I feel sorry for young people today who feel so alone that they have to mate with their first crush. It shocks me that so many young brides are pregnant at the alter. When you have kids late in life, you appreciate them more. They keep you young, and you see the world through better eyes. You can give your children a finer sense of values, too, because if you’re lucky, your own values have improved with time.”
“You won’t be happy, whatever you do, unless you’re comfortable with your own conscience. Keep your head up, keep your shoulders back, keep your self-respect, be nice, be smart. And remember that there are practically no “overnight” successes.”
