Have you ever watched a stonecutter at work? He will hammer away at a rock for perhaps a 100 times without a crack showing in it. Then, on the 101st blow, it will split in two. It is not that blow alone which accomplished the result, but the 100 others that went before as well.
Tact is ability to see others as they wish to be seen.
The key to understanding others is to first understand yourself
The more a man takes the needs of others on his own heart, the more he must take his own heart to God.
You're not what you think you are; you're not what others think you are; you're what you think others think you are!
Nobody raises his own reputation by lowering others
If others have sinned you need not mention it
Do something for somebody, gladly, twill sweeten your every care; In sharing the sorrow of others Your own are less hard to bear. Do something for somebody always, whatever may be your creed. There's nothing on earth can help you so much as a kindly deed.
The road to daily happiness is not hard to find, it's what we do for others that brings us peace of mind.
