“Real life is the life that's in you, not your circumstances, like where you live or what job you have or who you're in relationship with.”
“Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.”
“Set your mind that no matter what is going on in your life, you will have a good attitude.”
More on Words
“An average English word is four letters and a half. By hard, honest labor I've dug all the large words out of my vocabulary and shaved it down till the average is three and a half... I never write metropolis for seven cents, because I can get the same money for city. I never write policeman, because I can get the same price for cop.... I never write valetudinarian at all, for not even hunger and wretchedness can humble me to the point where I will do a word like that for seven cents; I wouldn't do it for fifteen.”
“Dress not thy thoughts in too fine a raiment. And be not a man of superfluous words or superfluous deeds.”
“The short words are best, and the old words, when short, are the best of all.”
More on Power
“I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.”
“For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.”
“When power corrupts, poetry cleanses”
