Don't be prideful with any excellence that is not your own

It is no easy thing for a principle to become a man's own unless each day he maintains it and works it out in his life.

Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.

Dare to look up to God and say, Deal with me in the future as Thou wilt; I am of the same mind as Thou art; I am Thine; I refuse nothing that pleases Thee; lead me where Thou wilt; clothe me in any dress Thou choosest.

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.

It doesn't take much to lose everything, just a little departure from reason

Freedom is secured not by the fulfillment of one's desires, but by the removal of desire.
