Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives

If you call one thing good, you must call its opposite bad. If you think it wonderful to make a big profit in your business, you will also think it terrible if you incur a large loss. The idea is to live above the opposites.

The reason why most people are frustrated is because a lie cannot be turned into a truth.

One false idea is that anyone can hurt you. Events can ruin your reputation, take your money, mistreat you, revenge itself upon you, deceive, betray, abandon you, but cannot hurt you.

Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.

What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.

Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.
