If anyone speaks badly of you, live so none will believe it.
The dictionay is the only place where success comes before work.
The only safe way to destroy an enemy is to make him or her your friend.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Influence is like a savings account. The less you use it the more you’ve got.

Flattery is all right-if you don’t inhale.

Love the postage stamp consideration. Way too many of us do too many things and never get anyway. What a novel idea to stick to one thing and get it done. Just reminds me of the importance of remembering that successful achievements are actually achieving the goal.
Lee, thanks for posting the great wisdom found in these “bite-sized” quotes. I copied several down to keep in my bag, post on my desk, and keep in the car to review while I’m stuck in traffic. I especially like the ones about attitude because it’s easy to let my usual positive attitude slip when in the company of others who are generally negative. A positive attitude sets one apart from the crowd like no other attribute.
Another simple thought for the day I learned from inspirational speaker, Les Brown, is also a terrific attitude-booster: “Let the word, NO, be your vitamin spurring you on resist a negative response.”
Looking forward to your next blog post!
Gyrate fullness and good habits are something we all need more of. Thanks for these, needed them today!
