“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”

“Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.”

“Today I escaped all circumstance, or rather I cast out all circumstance, for it was not outside me, but within my judgements.”

“Everything that happens, happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.”

“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

“Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”

“Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.”
