Highlights
The first rule is to maintain a calm spirit.
Face things head on and know them for what they are.
Think about the privilege it is to be alive, to be able to think, enjoy, love.
You have power over your mind, not over external events.
Nature gave men one tongue but two ears so that we can hear from others twice as much as we speak.
People are thrifty in guarding their personal property, but wasteful when it comes to wasting time.
Begin as if you want to live and count each day separately as a separate life.
Until we begin to live without them we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are.
If a man doesn't know which port he sails to no wind is favorable.
Here is a rule to remember in the future when something tries to make you feel bitter: It is not the misfortune itself but bearing it with dignity that is good luck.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
To know himself is the beginning of all wisdom.
Circumstances do not make the man, only reveal him to himself.
Put up with them. It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character; otherwise it cannot harm you inside or out.
Your days are numbered, use them to open the windows of your soul to the sun.

crowd anyone who manages to irritate you becomes your master the first rule is to maintain a

who suffers more than necessary suffers before Necessity be like the cliff against which the
waves continually break but who remains firm and dominates the fury of the water around him
nature gave men one tongue but two ears so that we can hear from others
twice as much as we speak people are thrifty in guarding their personal property
but so when it comes to wasting time They are more wasteful with one thing in which it is right
to be Miserly begin As if you want to live and count each day separately as a
separate life If you really want to escape the things that afflict you what you need is not
to be in a different place but being a different person until we begin to live without them we fail
to realize how unnecessary many things are we use them not because we needed them But
because we had them if a man doesn't know which port he sails to No wind is favorable all of us
we love ourselves more than other people but we care more about their opinion than
our own here is a rule to remember in the future when something tries to make you feel
bitter is not the misfortune in itself But bearing it with dignity is a good luck man conquers the
world by conquering himself don't waste any more time discussing what a good man should
be be one the things you think determine the quality of your mind if it's not right don't do it
if it's not true don't say no It's what happens to you but how you react that matters all
we hear is an opinion not a fact all we see is a perspective not the truth luck is
what happens when preparation meets opportunity not the man who has little but
the man who desires more than is poor to know himself is the beginning of all wisdom the difficulty
shows what men are like to be everywhere is to be nowhere death smiles at us
all all we can do is smile back the more we value things outside of our control
the less control we have nothing lasts except change the value of a person is measured by the value of what they
value if you want to improve be content with being considered foolish and stupid anger if not
contained is often more harmful to us than The Offense that no man
has ever been wise by chance he who is brave is free his sense of injustice and injustice itself
disappear The willing are led by fate the reluctant are swept away what we do
now echoes in eternity while we wait for life life passes by he who puts the finishing touches
on your life every day never runs out of time it is past time for you to realize that there is something in
you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect and make you dancing like a puppet
wealth does not consist in having great Possessions but in having few desires be silent most
of the time or if you speak say only what is necessary in a few words all
cruelty arises from weakness it is a difficult path that leads to heights of greatness do each of your
life as if it were the last what can happen at any time can happen today do not Explain
your incorporeal philosophy why a thing seems difficult to you do not think that it is impossible for
anyone to realize freedom is secured not by satisfaction of men's desires But
by the removal of desire circumstances do not make man only reveal it to himself
it is death that a man must fear but he must fear never begin to live the key is to keep the
company of only those people who uplift you whose presence evokes your best humans exist
for each other so either teach them or learn to put up with them it can ruin your life only
if it ruins your character otherwise it cannot harm you inside or outside the happiness of your
life depends on the quality of your thoughts mastering reading and writing requires a master
even more so life life is too short and anxious for those who forget the past neglect
the present and fear the future be tolerant of others and strict with yourself your days are
numbered use them to open the windows of your soul to the sun If you don't do this the sun
will soon set and you with it the best revenge is to be different from the one who committed The offense
sometimes even living is an act of courage it's not that we have little time but that we waste
a lot of it whatever happens it happens as it should you will find it true
if you look closely at our life it is what our thoughts make of it the more serious
the consequences of anger are than the causes of it he who fears death will never do anything worthy of
a man who is alive we only live now everything else is past or is unknown progress is not
achieved by luck or accident but by working on yourself daily at banquets remember
that you entertain two guests the body and the soul and what you give to the body it will soon reject.
But what you give to the soul will always maintain no person has the power to have everything he desires but
it is in your power not to desire what you do not have and to use with joy what you have if what you
have seems insufficient to you then even if possess the world you will still be unhappy the most
powerful is the one who has power over himself difficulties strengthen the mind just as
work strengthens the body just as a story life is not about how long it is but how good
life is if well lived is long enough the best response to anger is silence
I agree but nature has set a limit to this just as she has set a limit to eating and
drinking nowhere can man find a more peaceful and Serene refuge than in
his own soul that whoever harmed you was either stronger or weaker than you if weaker or stronger
spare yourself the impediment to action advances the action what is in the path
becomes the path desiring to be well is part of becoming welcome without presumption release
without struggle no great thing is created suddenly just like a bunch of grapes or figs if you tell me you
want a fig tree I answer that there must be time let it Bloom first then it will bear fruit
and ripen we suffer more often in the imagination than in reality no man
can escape his destiny the next question is how he can best live the time he has
to live the whole Future Is In uncertainty live immediately every new beginning comes from some end
of another beginning but life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past neglect
the present and and fear the future we do not suffer from the events in our lives but from our judgment
about them it is our attitude towards the events not the events themselves that we can control nothing is
calamitous on its own nature until death is terrible only if we fear it if evil is
said about you and it is true correct yourself if it is a lie smile at it cling to what is
spiritually superior regardless of what other people think or do maintain
your true aspirations no matter what is happening around you, confine yourself to the
present no man is free if he is not master of himself very little is needed to make
a happy life it is all within you in your way of thinking if you live in harmony with
nature It will never be possible to live according to what others think You will never be rich, learn to be
indifferent to what makes no difference, the greatest blessings of humanity are within us and within
our reach, a wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be. without desiring what
he does not have man is not concerned with real problems as much as with his imagined anxieties
about problems small-minded people blame others common people blame themselves
the wise see all blame as foolishness respect the past be open to the future the
life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not poorly provided but we use what
we have in a wasteful way stay calm and serene regardless of what life
