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

God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.

Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.

Your dreams are not frivolous; they are the whispers of your soul calling you towards your true path.

When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

You only live twice: Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face.
