Don’t think of yourself as being lazy: think of yourself as a relaxaholic.

‘To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life.’

It is for those of us who are comfortable in our own skin, even if it doesn’t fit us anymore.

‘If you can keep your head while all around you are losing theirs, you probably haven’t understood the seriousness of the problem.’

Consideration for other people at all times, treating them the way you would wish to be treated yourself

Recognizing that others have their own problems in life, even if they do not express them publicly.

Accepting that things may not always be perfect in your life and that you should resist trying to make them so.

Peace of mind represents the highest form of contentment.

1. Don’t leave the last biscuit in the packet for someone else; they won’t thank you for it.

2. Never allow anyone else to become custodian – even temporarily – of the TV remote; they can’t be trusted with such a vital piece of equipment.
