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

Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

I must die. Must I then die lamenting? I must be put in chains. Must I then also lament? I must go into exile. Does any man then hinder me from going with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment?

Nothing is in reality either pleasant or unpleasant by nature but all things become so through habit

One of the best ways to elevate your character is to emulate worthy role models

There is but one way to tranquility of mind and happiness, and that is to account no external things thine own, but to commit all to God.

You bear God within you, poor wretch, and know it not.
