Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.
A man should be upright, not be kept upright.
A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
The universe is change; life is your perception of it.
Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
Confine yourself to the present.
Whoever does wrong, wrongs himself; whoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.
