He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

When you let go of your attention for a little while, do not think you may recover it whenever you please.

Don't regard what anyone says of you, for this, after all, is no concern of yours.

Never say about anything, "I have lost it," but only "I have given it back." Is your child dead? It has been given back. Is your wife dead? She has been returned.

Some of their faults men readily admit, but others not so readily.

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

If thy brother wrongs thee, remember not so much his wrong-doing, but more than ever that he is thy brother.
