Think of God oftener than you breathe.

It is impossible that happiness, and yearning for what is not present, should ever be united.

Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.

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

Don't be concerned with other people's impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.

Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
