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

It is a mark of a mean capacity to spend much time on the things which concern the body, such as much exercise, much eating, much drinking, much easing of the body, much copulation. But these things should be done as subordinate things: and let all your care be directed to the mind.

At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Never depend on the admiration of others for self-satisfaction. It is a fact of life that other people, even people who love you, will not necessarily agree with your ideas, understand you always, or share your enthusiasms.

Appear to know only this--never to fail nor fall.

In trying to please other people, we find ourselves misdirected toward what lies outside our sphere of influence. In doing so, we lose our hold on our lifes purpose.
