Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: 1. Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; 2. Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; 4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; 5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; 6. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
Where there’s life, there’s hope.
It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance.
As long as I breathe, I hope.
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
For it is not death or pain that is to be feared, but the fear of pain or death.
Kindness is stronger than fear.
Men are not afraid of things, but of how they view them.
It is our attitude toward events, not events themselves, which we can control. Nothing is by its own nature calamitous — even death is terrible only if we fear it.
On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use.
