All religions must be tolerated for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.

Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents." Translation by Sharon Lebell

If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit; give it nothing which may tend to its increase.

On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use.

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

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.
