Daniel Webster

Don’t worry about things you cannot alter.

The best stories don’t come from ‘good vs. bad’ but ‘good vs. good.’

Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.

Buy what thou hast no Need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy Necessaries.

When people treat you mean, you dislike them for that, but not because of their person, who they are.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Smiling is one of the highest forms of meditation.

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbors will say.

You are so much more than what people have done to you, and to let that define you, would be a tragedy.

I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more of a fool not afraid of rejection.

If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.

Ah, but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.
