*When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.*We cannot control the evil tongues of others; but a good life enables us to disregard them.*Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.* Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery.*An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.*Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you.*A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.*Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.*You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.*Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.*We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.*It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.*There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will.*How people treat you is their Karma, how you react is yours.*You were only given this life because you are strong enough to live it.*Bad times wake you up to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to.*Heal the past.*Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up.*Happiness is the secret to true beauty.*Beauty only gets attention, personality captures the heart.*Confidence is the sexiest thing a girl can wear.*You can be confident and secure and know that you do a good job at what you do. But you don't have to be arrogant about it.*When attempting to make someone look like a fool to others, you only succeed in looking like a fool yourself.*We accept the love we think we deserve.*The more you act like a lady, the more he'll act like a gentlemen.*Your children didn't ask to be born.
