Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so, but happy am I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.

The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.

Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so, but happy am I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.

He does not write at all whose poems no man reads

Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about. If it is good to say or do something, then it is even better to be criticized for having said or done it.
