The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.

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

If unwilling to rise in the morning, say to thyself, 'I awake to do the work of a man.'

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

To live each day as though one's last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing - here is the perfection of character.

What is not good for the swarm is not good for the bee.

Find joy in simplicity, self-respect, and indifference to what lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race. Follow the divine.
