There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Act well your given part; the choice rests not with you.

It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.

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?

Two principles we should always have ready — that there is nothing good or evil save in the will; and that we are not to lead events, but to follow them.

I am always content with what happens; for I know that what God chooses is better than what I choose.

To live a life of virtue, you have to become consistent, even when it isn't convenient, comfortable, or easy.
