There is no man so blessed that some who stand by his deathbed won't hail the occasion with delight.

He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.

Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself.

My true Self is free. I cannot be contained.

Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.

Choose not to be harmed and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed and you haven't been.

Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.
