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

We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.

The people have a right to the truth as they have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

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

The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other.

If you would be good, first believe that you are bad.

If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.
