Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.

As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: "What is his point of reference here?" But begin with yourself: examine yourself first.

Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.

Leave other people's mistakes where they lie.

Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed.

Objective judgement, now, at this very moment. Unselfish action, now, at this very moment. Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of all external events. That's all you need.

Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.
