If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.

What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne.

Withdraw to the untroubled quietude deep within the soul, and refresh yourself.

The only thing that isn't worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly, And be patience with those who don't.

We are born for cooperation

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
