Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education.

Endure, my heart; you have endured worse than this.

Your worth is not measured by your achievements; it is inherent in your very being.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.

Reason is the only oracle of man.
