I decided to summarize this book in a different way. Here I wrote the sentences that resonate with me. Hope you can find this book invaluable, too.
- Criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home.
- Stockings were expensive—and if you had to buy them you would be more careful!
- People who can put themselves in the place of other people who can understand the workings of their minds, need never worry about what the future has in store for them.
- The world is full of people who are grabbing and self-seeking. So the rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage.
- You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
- Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.
- To recall a voter's name is statesmanship. To forget it is oblivion.
- Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him.
- A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.— Abraham Lincoln
