Man is not fully free unless he is master of himself.

It's so simple really: If you say you're going to do something, do it. If you start something, finish it.

What disturbs and alarms man are not the things, but his opinions and fancies about the things.

Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.

Any one thing in the creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.

By accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, we become free.

We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope.
