The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.

It is in your own power to maintain the beauty of your soul, or to be a decent human being.

Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.

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

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

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.

Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.
