You lose only the things you have
The good or ill of a man lies within his own will.
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.
When our friends are present we ought to treat them well; and when they are absent, to speak of them well.
Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen.
