Neither the victories of the Olympic Games nor those achieved in battles make the man happy. The only victories that make him happy are those achieved against himself. Temptations and tests are combats. You have beaten one, two, many times; still fight. If you defeat at last you will be happy your entire life, as if you have always defeated.

Liars are the cause of all the sins and crimes in the world.

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

Authentic happiness is always independent of external conditions.

Think of God oftener than you breathe.

No man is free who is not master of himself.

If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means; and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.
