“Confine yourself to the present.”

You always own the option of having no opinion.

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life.

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

Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter. Cold or warm.

If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.

What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne.

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.

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

Receive without conceit, release without struggle.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.

Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

The journey with a 1000 miles begins with one step.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

Don’t start your day with broken pieces of the past. Yesterday ended last night. Today is a brand new day and it’s yours.

After awhile you could get used to anything.

God always offers us a second chance in life.

Attachment is the opposite of healing.

There’s definitely healing properties to being in proximity to the ocean and that breeze. There’s something about that Caribbean climate and humidity.
