“Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break; but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.”

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

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what is left and live it properly.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone.

Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

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