Do not disturb yourself by picturing your life as a whole; do not assemble in your mind the many and varied troubles which have come to you in the past and will come again in the future, but ask yourself with regard to every present difficulty: 'What is there in this that is unbearable and beyond endurance?'

Your life is an expression of all your thoughts.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

Men exist for the sake of one another.

Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
