Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

The soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there - if he will - he can also live well.

We are born for cooperation, as are the feet, the hands, the eyelids, and the upper and lower jaws.

Confine yourself to the present.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
