“The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.”

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”

“Build therefore your own world.”

“Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.”

“The World exists for you ; Build therefore your own world”

“Write it on your heartthat every day is the best day in the year.He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the daywho allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it.You have done what you could.Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;begin it well and serenely, with too high a spiritto be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear,with its hopes and invitations,to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

“Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.”
