“How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.”

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.

You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
