Neither seek nor avoid; take what comes. It is liberty to be affected by nothing. Do not merely endure; be unattached.
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
