The ruling power within, when it is in its natural state, is so related to outer circumstances that it easily changes to accord with what can be done and what is given it to do.

Most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you'll have more time, and more tranquillity. Ask yourself at every moment, 'Is this necessary?'

You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.

Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.
