Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil.

If this is neither my own badness, nor an effect of my own badness, and the common weal is not injured, why am I troubled about it? And what is the harm to the common weal?

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.

A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.

Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.

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