Two principles we should always have ready — that there is nothing good or evil save in the will; and that we are not to lead events, but to follow them.

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

No man is free who is not master of himself.

We can't control the impressions others form about us, and the effort to do so only debases our character.

The appearance of things to the mind is the standard of every action to man.

Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcome.

When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it. It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance. Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor are they what they seem to be. They are what they are.
