Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.

Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?

Understand however that every man is worth just so much as the things are worth about which he busies himself.

He that lives alone lives in danger; society avoids many dangers.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Cultivate these, then, for they are wholly within your power: sincerity and dignity; industriousness; and sobriety. Avoid grumbling, be frugal, considerate, and frank; be temperate in manner and speech; carry yourself with authority.

It is the duty of men to love even those who injure them.
