A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.

So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.

It is not the body, nor the personality that is the true self. The true self is eternal. Even on the point of death we can say to ourselves, "my true self is free. I cannot be contained."

You should banish any thoughts of how you may appear to others.

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

Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.

A good disposition is invincible, if it be genuine.
