He that lives alone lives in danger; society avoids many dangers.

Confine yourself to the present.

Our inward power, when it obeys nature, reacts to events by accommodating itself to what it faces - to what is possible. It needs no specific material. It pursues its own aims as circumstances allow; it turns obstacles into fuel. As a fire overwhelms what would have quenched a lamp. What's thrown on top of the conflagration is absorbed, consumed by it - and makes it burn still higher.

The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.

Submit to the fate of your own free will.

Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my colour.

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