What LIfe Should Mean to You by Alfred Adler

"Without prayer I should have been a lunatic long ago." Mahatma Gandhi

...So when you are kicked and criticized, remember that it is often done because it gives the kicker a feeling of importance. It often means that you are accomplishing something and are worthy of attention.

Remember that unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment.

Eleanor Roosevelt said: Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticized anyway.


Just LAUGH! You can answer the man who answers you back, but what can you say to the man who just laughs?!

Worrying about insomnia usually causes far more damage than the sleeplessness.

After you have seen your whole edifice of happness topple and crash in ruins around you, it never matters again that a servant forgets to put the doilies under the finger bowl...

I do not regret the hardships I have known, because through them I have touched life at every point. I have lived.
