Seek not the good in external things;seek it in yourselves.

Have the wisdom to know what cannot be changed, and the strength to change what can.

In the long run, every man will pay the penalty for this own misdeeds.

Don't be concerned who is watching you. The triumphs and merits of others belong to them - as do yours to you. Make the most of what you've got.

Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control.

No living being is held by anything so strongly as by its own needs. Whatever therefore appears a hindrance to these, be it brother, or father, or child, or mistress, or friend, is hated, abhorred, execrated.

Consider the bigger picture.....think things through and fully commit!
