If you wish to live a life free from sorrow, think of what is going to happen as if it had already happened.

No one who is in a state of fear or sorrow or tension is free, but whosoever is delivered from sorrows or fears or anxieties is at the same time delivered from servitude.

Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.

You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.

God has made all men to be happy.

As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.

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.
