When you are offended at anyone's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. By attending to them, you will forget your anger and learn to live wisely.

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it - either gratefully better than or bitterly worse than something else that you alone choose.

You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.

Let goodness go with the doing.

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

In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.
