It's the nicest thing on earth if someone comes up to me and says, 'Every day I drink out of a mug you designed. '
Friendship takes time and energy if it's going to work. You can luck into something great, but it doesn't last if you don't give it proper appreciation. Friendship can be so comfortable, but nurture it-don't take it for granted.
To love one that is great, is almost to be great one's self.
What you feel about another person, what you think or say about another person, what you do to another person – you do to you. Give judgment and criticism and you give it to yourself. Give love and appreciation to another person or anything, and you give it to yourself.
Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.
Appreciation in advance brings everything you want to you.
Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.
We commend a horse for his strength, and sureness of foot, and not for his rich caparisons; a greyhound for his share of heels, not for his fine collar; a hawk for her wing, not for her jesses and bells. Why, in like manner, do we not value a man for what is properly his own? He has a great train, a beautiful palace, so much credit, so many thousand pounds a year, and all these are about him, but not in him.
We never know a greater character unless there is in ourselves something congenial to it.
It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it, to know what true freedom is.
A little praise goes a great ways.
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Be very slow to believe that you are wiser than all others; it is a fatal but common error. Where one has been saved by a true estimation of another's weakness, thousands have been destroyed by a false appreciation of their own strength.
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
God created women only to tame men.
I think throughout my life I've had an appreciation for how all of these things have to come together in order to realize and then sustain change.
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.
I know how bad a thing it is to be a slave and I know how terrible it was but I don't believe that there's a free person in the whole world that knows how good a cup full of water can taste. Because you have to be a deprived slave, to be kept waiting for your water like we were to really appreciate how good just one swallow can be. When we finally got a drop on our tongues it was like something straight from the hands of the Almighty.
Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.
