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.

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

we have in a wasteful way stay calm and serene regardless of what life
