Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do. Hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you.

It is not events that disturb the minds of men, but the view they take of them.

We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.

Don't be concerned who is watching you. The triumphs and merits of others belong to them - as do yours to you. Make the most of what you've got.

Even as the Sun doth not wait for prayers and incantations to rise, but shines forth and is welcomed by all: so thou also wait not for clapping of hands and shouts and praise to do thy duty; nay, do good of thine own accord, and thou wilt be loved like the Sun.

As a man, casting off worn out garments taketh new ones, so the dweller in the body, entereth into ones that are new.
