Say to yourself in the early morning: I shall meet today ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All of these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill... I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together.

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

Take me and cast me where you will; I shall still be possessor of the divinity within me, serene and content.

Without a purpose, nothing should be done.

If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.

Hast thou reason? I have. Why then dost not thou use it? For if this does its own work, what else dost thou wish?

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
