Instead of possibilities, I have realities in my past, not only the reality of work done and of love loved, but of sufferings bravely suffered. These sufferings are even the things of which I am most proud, though these are things which cannot inspire envy.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Happiness must ensue. It cannot be pursued

The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose ones attitude in any given circumstance.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

No one can take away my freedom to choose how I will react.

No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.
