“The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself.”

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life — think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.

Don't take rest after your first victory because if you fail in second, more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.

Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.

The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature.

The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.

Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.

I can resist everything except temptation.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
