Act as if you are, and you will become such.

Something magical has happened to me: like a dream when one feels frightened and creepy, and suddenly wakes up to the knowledge that no such terrors exist. I have wakened up.

A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.

Here I am...wanting to accomplish something and completely forgetting it must all end--that there is such a thing as death.

Death destroys the body, as the scaffolding is destroyed after the building is up and finished. And he whose building is up rejoices at the destruction of the scaffolding and of the body.

The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.

Where there is a man who does not labor because another is compelled to work for him, there slavery is.
