“Our life is what our thoughts make it.”

“The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.”

“It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds; for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.”

“Our inward power, when it obeys nature, reacts to events by accommodating itself to what it faces - to what is possible. It needs no specific material. It pursues its own aims as circumstances allow; it turns obstacles into fuel. As a fire overwhelms what would have quenched a lamp. What's thrown on top of the conflagration is absorbed, consumed by it - and makes it burn still higher.”

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”

“Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.”

“striid andWthdraw into yourself. Our master-reason asks no more than to act justly, and thereby to achieve calm.”
