Truth is not a matter of personal viewpoint.

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.

Realize that the surface personality has no interest in anything which might disturb its darling delusions.

You can end half your troubles immediately by no longer permitting people to tell you what you want.

The outer storm ceases the moment the inner storm ends, for they are the same storm.

A person obsessed with the need to be happy will never be so. The obsession is the obstruction.

It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old, unsatisfactory ways to make the great change. If you switch on the light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. Be teachable. That is the whole secret.
