God has made all men to be happy.

Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.

Preach not to others what they should eat, but eat as becomes you and be silent.

Things themselves don't hurt or hinder us. Things simply are what they are. How we view these things is another matter.People think what they will think; it is of no concern to us.

Do not seek to bring things to pass in accordance with your wishes, but wish for them as they are, and you will find them.

Events do not just happen, but arrive by appointment.

Freedom and happiness come from understanding - and working with - our limits. Begin at once a program of self-mastery. Stick with your purpose. Do not seek external approval. Do not worry about anything outside of your control. The only things you command are your thoughts and actions. We choose our response. Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.
