If you want to live a long life, focus on making contributions.

Almost no germ is unconditionally dangerous to man; its disease-producing ability depends upon the body’s resistance.

Man should not try to avoid stress any more than he would shun food, love or exercise.

Complete freedom from stress is death.

Mental tensions, frustrations, insecurity, aimlessness are among the most damaging stressors, and psychosomatic studies have shown how often they cause migraine headache, peptic ulcers, heart attacks, hypertension, mental disease, suicide, or just hopeless unhappiness.

The healthiest of all human emotions is gratitude.

Stress is not necessarily something bad it all depends on how you take it. The stress of exhilarating, creative successful work is beneficial, while that of failure, humiliation or infection is detrimental.

To be totally without stress is to be dead.

Stress is the spice of life.

Gratitude conserves the vital energies of a person more than any other attitude tested.
