Don’t consent to be hurt and you won’t be hurt – this is a choice over which you have control

Freedom and happiness are won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.

If you have assumed a character above your strength, you have both acted in this matter in an unbecoming way, and you have neglected that which you might have fulfilled.

If your heart is quite set upon a crown, make and put on one of roses, for it will make the prettier appearance.

It is not events that disturb the minds of men, but the view they take of them.
