An angry look on the face is wholly against nature. If it be assumed frequently, beauty begins to perish, and in the end is quenched beyond rekindling.

Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.

You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.

Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite; keep reason under its own control.

A person's life is what their thoughts make it.

How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.

A man's life is what his thoughts make of it.
