The sinner sins against himself; the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.

Remember this - that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.

Men despise one another and flatter one another; and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.

Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.

Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
