He who pays no attention to what his neighbor does, says or thinks, preferring to concentrate on making his own actions appropriate and justifiable, better uses his time.

Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.

Most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you'll have more time, and more tranquillity. Ask yourself at every moment, 'Is this necessary?'

The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.

One whose chief regard is for his own mind, and for the divinity within him and the service of its goodness, will strike no poses, utter no complaints, and crave neither for solitude nor yet for a crowd. Best of all, his life will be free from continual pursuing and avoiding.

Leave other people's mistakes where they lie.
