Contentment comes not so much from great wealth as from few wants.
It is not a demonstration of kindness or friendship to the people we care about to join them in indulging in wrongheaded, negative feelings. We do a better service to ourselves and others by remaining detached and avoiding melodramatic reactions.
It is my business, to manage carefully and dexterously whatever happens
Ruin and recovering are both from within.
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
What matters most is what sort of person you are becoming. Wise individuals care only about whom they are today and who they can be tomorrow.
