Do not laugh much or often or unrestrainedly.

Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power and should not be at all your concerns.

Don't regard what anyone says of you, for this, after all, is no concern of yours.

No man is free who is not master of himself... Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose?

From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do -- now.

As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.

Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power.
