Creating Your Character is Like an Artist Creating a Sculpture

It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts.

If someone hands you a million dollars, best you become a millionaire, or you won't get to keep the money.

It's not what happens, it's what you do that determines your future.

When people asked Socrates, ‘What is wisdom?’ he always gave the same answer: ‘I don’t know’. In fact, Socrates never claimed to know much of anything except how to ask questions. And by asking questions, he would prove to other people that they didn’t know what they thought they knew.

Happiness is the art of learning how to get joy from your substance.
