From now on practice saying to everything that appears unpleasant: You are merely an appearance and NOT what you appear to be.

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.

It is our attitude toward events, not events themselves, which we can control. Nothing is by its own nature calamitous -- even death is terrible only if we fear it.

Cowardice, the dread of what will happen.

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

We do not choose our own parts in life, and have nothing to do with those parts. Our duty is confined to playing them well.

Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
