The Development Compass

“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.”

“It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.”

“Don’t let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.”
