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.

Nothing befalls a man except what is in his nature to endure.

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

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Things can never touch the soul, but stand inert outside it, so that disquiet can arise only from fancies within.

Whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself; whosoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.

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