Wherever any one is against his will, that is to him a prison.

You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.

Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.

We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.

Fight against yourself, recover yourself to decency, to modesty, to freedom. And, in the first place, condemn your actions; but when you have condemned them, do not despair of yourself. For both ruin and recovery are from within.

To get or not to get what we desire can be equally disappointing.

When your thoughts, words, and deeds form a seamless fabric, you streamline your efforts and thus eliminate worry and dread.
