1. βYou have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.β
2. βThe best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.β
3. βIt is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.β
4. βWaste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.β
5. βThe happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.β
6. βIf it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.β
7. βThe soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.β
8. βDwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.β
9. βEverything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.β
10. βReject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.β
11. βHe who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.β
12. βThe best answer to anger is silence.β
13. βConfine yourself to the present.β
14. βWhen you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive β to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.β
15. βTo live happily is an inward power of the soul.β
16. βAccept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.β
17. βThe impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.β
