In order to please others, we loose our hold on our life's purpose.

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.

By accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, we become free.

It is not the events but our viewpoint toward events that is the determining factor. We ought to be more concerned about removing wrong thoughts from the mind than removing tumors and abscesses from the body.

We must ever bear in mind --that apart from the will there is nothing good or bad, and that we must not try to anticipate or to direct events, but merely to accept them with intelligence.

When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it; you can either accept it or resent it.

The good or ill of a man lies within his own will.
