The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future.

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.

When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something.
