My favorite columns are ones that allow me to provide readers some words of wisdom that they can absorb, and, if well written, can be passed on to others.
I have listed some thoughts below that I feel are worth passing on. Please read them and send them to others.
• Never rise to speak till you have something to say; and when you have said it, sit down.
• There are two kinds of failures: The man who will do nothing he is told and the man who will do nothing else.
• “Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain, and most fools do.” Dale Carnegie.
• The men who start out with the notion that the world owes them a living generally find that the world pays its debt in the penitentiary or the poorhouse.
• “Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.” Gilbert Chesterton.
• “Almost all men are intelligent. It is method that they lack.” F.W. Nichol.
• “Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbors.” Kipling.
• “Forty is the old age of youth; 50 is the youth of old age.” Victor Hugo.
• “The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit. Try, if you can, to belong to the first class. There's far less competition.” Dwight Morrow.
• “Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.” Stowe.
• “Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.” Abraham Lincoln.
• “It is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear.” E.H. Harriman.
• “The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.” Thomas Huxley.
• “People seldom want to walk over you until you lie down.” Elmer Wheeler.
