The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
