How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.

If unwilling to rise in the morning, say to thyself, 'I awake to do the work of a man.'

Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so, but happy am I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.

The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.

Always bear this in mind, that very little indeed is necessary for living a happy life.

Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, 'I have been harmed.' Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.
