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

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

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

...the sole thing of which any man can be deprived is the present; since this is all he owns, and nobody can lose what is not his.

If thou workest at that which is before thee ... expecting nothing, fearing nothing, but satisfied with thy present activity according to Nature, and with heroic truth in every word and sound which thou utterest, thou wilt live happy. And there is no man who is able to prevent this.

If it's time for you to go, leave willingly - as you would to accomplish anything that can be done with grace and honor.

Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.
