“One should cultivate good habits of memory, for it is capable of making existence a Paradise or an Inferno.”

“Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you.”

“Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.”

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”

“Atheists. What grounds have they for saying that no one can rise from the dead? Which is harder, to be born or to rise again? That what has never been should be, or that what has been should be once more? Is it harder to come into existence than to come back? Habit makes us find the one easy, while lack of habit makes us find the other impossible.”

“There is no paradise except that which we create in the great tomb of the churches. There is no hell, no inferno except the frenzy of living.”
