True security lies not in the things one has, but in the things one can do without.

I will live this day as if it is my last. …I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, Yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?

If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.

Remind thyself, in the darkest moments, that every failure is only a step toward success, every detection of what is false directs you toward what is true, every trial exhausts some tempting form of error, and every adversity will only hide, for a time, your path to peace and fulfillment.

Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.

Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
