The Development Compass

“Dignity comes not from control, but from understanding who you are and taking your rightful place in the world.”

“Measure not the work until the day’s out and the labor done.”

“Life engenders life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.”

“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.”

“To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.”

“I have witnessed the softening of the hardest of hearts by a simple smile.”

“Don’t discuss yourself, for you are bound to lose; if you belittle yourself, you are believed; if you praise yourself, you are disbelieved.”
