Preach not to others what they should eat, but eat as becomes you and be silent.

Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcome.

As in walking it is your great care not to run your foot upon a nail, or to tread awry, and strain your leg; so let it be in all the affairs of human life, not to hurt your mind or offend your judgment. And this rule, if observed carefully in all your deportment, will be a mighty security to you in your undertakings.

On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use.

Ask yourself: Does this appearance (of events) concern the things that are within my own control or those that are not? If it concerns anything outside your control, train yourself not to worry about it.

Ask yourself, "How are my thoughts, words and deeds affecting my friends, my spouse, my neighbour, my child, my employer, my subordinates, my fellow citizens?"

No man is disturbed by things, but by his opinion about things.
