We must be afraid of neither poverty nor exile nor imprisonment; of fear itself only should we be afraid.

If we are not stupid or insincere when we say that the good or ill of man lies within his own will, and that all beside is nothing to us, why are we still troubled?

One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent.

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Let no man think that he is loved by any who loveth none.

No great thing is created suddenly. There must be time. Give your best and always be kind.

Consider the bigger picture.....think things through and fully commit!
