Here are a few of his quotable quotes:
1. Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will
come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.
2. Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other
people's bad manners.
3. Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our
best.
4. Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second‐hand furniture.
5. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.
6. Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.
7. Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.
8. Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.
There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to
be forward, backwards, or sideways.
9. People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness.
Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've
gotten lost.
10. Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old
friends.
11. When you are angry or frustrated, what comes out?
Whatever it is, it's a good indication of what you're made of.
12. Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the
same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller,
Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci,
Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
