- The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
- Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
- The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
- Dig deep within yourself, for there is a fountain of goodness ever ready to flow if you will keep digging.
- Often injustice lies in what you aren’t doing, not only in what you are doing.
- Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
- If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.
- The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
- How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
- It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
