«It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.»
«I love my past, I love my present. I am not ashamed of what I have had, and I am not sad because I no longer have it.»
«If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labor. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of my emotions.»
