If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

If you wish to live a life free from sorrow, think of what is going to happen as if it had already happened.

Ask yourself, "How are my thoughts, words and deeds affecting my friends, my spouse, my neighbour, my child, my employer, my subordinates, my fellow citizens?"

Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.

If we are not stupid or insincere when we say that the good or ill of man lies within his own will, and that all beside is nothing to us, why are we still troubled?

You are but an appearance, and not absolutely the thing you appear to be.

In the long run, every man will pay the penalty for this own misdeeds.
