“Don’t live by your own rules, but in harmony with nature.”

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.

In prosperity it is very easy to find a friend; but in adversity it is the most difficult of all things.

I laugh at those who think they can damage me. They do not know who I am, they do not know what I think, they cannot even touch the things which are really mine and with which I live.

Do not try to seem wise to others.

Know you not that a good man does nothing for appearance sake, but for the sake of having done right?

When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it; you can either accept it or resent it.

It is not he who reviles or strikes you who insults you, but your opinion that these things are insulting.

Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.

Have the wisdom to know what cannot be changed, and the strength to change what can.

It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance.

It takes more than just a good looking body. You’ve got to have the heart and soul to go with it.

Small-minded people blame others. Average people blame themselves. The wise see all blame as foolishness.

If you wish to live a life free from sorrow, think of what is going to happen as if it had already happened.

If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

No man is free who is not master of himself.

You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves.

Our object must be to bring our territory into harmony with the numbers of our population

God himself would not permit evil in this world if good did not come of it for the benefit and harmony of the universe.

How is it they live in such harmony, the billions of stars, when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds?

I love to take the time to blend harmonies and give them depth.

The unlike is joined together, and from differences results the most beautiful harmony.

Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.

The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
