You can be invincible, if you enter into no contest in which it is not in your power to conquer.
We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.
Act well your given part; the choice rests not with you.
It is not events that disturb the minds of men, but the view they take of them.
Remember that you are but an actor, acting whatever part the Master has ordained. It may be short or it may be long. If he wishes you to represent a poor man, do so heartily; if a cripple, or a magistrate, or a private man, in each case act your part with honor.
If you wish to live a life free from sorrow, think of what is going to happen as if it had already happened.
