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.

Confine yourself to the present.

I was going through a crisis once, so I went to therapy because I was so unbearable for myself.

Life without forgiveness is unbearable.

Sometimes truth is a kind of love not many hearts can bear.

Everyone you meet teaches you something; even if they come bearing pain.

The Second Amendment says we have the right to bear arms, not to bear artillery.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

I have decided to stick to love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
