Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.

Remember that even if you were to live for three thousand years, or thirty thousand, you could not lose any other life than the one you have, and there will be no other life after it. So the longest and the shortest lives are the same. The present moment is shared by all living creatures, but the time that is past is gone forever. No one can lose the past or the future, for if they don't belong to you, how can they be taken from you?

If it's time for you to go, leave willingly - as you would to accomplish anything that can be done with grace and honor.

Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.

The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.

All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion.

Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
