When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth.
And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Without friends, no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
Where is this heaven? You have not even the power to see one grain of sand here. Can you see this earth of ours? The earth appears to us to be stationary, and the sun seems to go round us; but if we could get away from our earth, and look down from the sun upon it, we should see that it is moving round the sun in a circle, and that the sun is standing still. So it is with our conceptions of heaven and hell; they are not real, but only human conceptions.
