“It is not the actions of others which trouble us but rather it is our own judgments.”

Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my colour.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

The memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time.

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

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

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.

Love without action is meaningless and action without love is irrelevant.

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people’s, if we are always criticizing trivial actions – which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You receive from the world what you give to the world.

Healing requires taking action-it is not a passive event.

Be mindful of the words that you use and the actions that you live and who you are and how it is you use your power. Keep clear at all times that you are what you say you are.

I’m not really a first-move kind of gal.

There are eternal consequences resulting from all our thoughts, words and actions, of which we take far too little account.

Your biography becomes your biology. This biography includes the totality of your choices, the things you feed your body – you thoughts, your actions, your food – the thing you feed your life.
