If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.

Authentic happiness is always independent of external conditions. Vigilantly practice polite indifference to that which we can't control. Your happiness can only be found within.

You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.

If you see anybody wail and complain, call him a slave, though he be clad in purple.

I am not eternity, but a man; a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.

Never look for your work in one place and your progress in another.

Wherever any one is against his will, that is to him a prison.
