Be cheerful, also, and seek not external help, nor the peace which others give. A man must stand straight, and not be kept straight by others.

It is possible to depart from life at this moment. Have this thought in mind whenever you act, speak, or think.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Our wills are ours, to make them Thine.

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

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.

Life is a campaign, a brief staying in a strange region.
