“It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”

Freedom is the right to live as we wish.

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.

Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.

One that desires to excel should endeavour in those things that are in themselves most excellent.

Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
