You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.

Everything has two handles,-one by which it may be borne; another by which it cannot.

No great thing is created suddenly. There must be time. Give your best and always be kind.

If you think you control things that are in the control of others, you will lament. You will be disturbed and you will blame both gods and men.

Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.

If you would be well spoken of, learn to be well-spoken; and having learnt to be well- spoken, strive also to be well-doing; so shall you succeed in being well spoken of.

Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them.
