A good disposition is invincible, if it be genuine.

A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.

Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break; but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.

One universe made up all that is; and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.

Let every action aim solely at the common good.

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

What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne.
