Don’t ask of your friends what you yourself can do.

They hate whom they fear.

Let no one pay me honor with tears, nor celebrate my funeral rites with weeping.

Let no one honour me with tears, or bury me with lamentation. Why? Because I fly hither and thither, living in the mouths of me. [Lat., Nemo me lacrymis decoret, nec funera fletu. Faxit cur? Volito vivu’ per ora virum.]

He hath freedom whoso beareth a clean and constant heart within.

Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.

He who has two languages has two souls.

Here is he laid to whom for daring deed, nor friend nor foe could render worthy meed.

Ambition is when you close the gap between your circumstances and expectations.

Circumstances and crises are God’s tools to move you into your purpose and the maximizing of your potential.

Are you proud of yourself tonight that you have insulted a total stranger whose circumstances you know nothing about?

I prided myself on being unflappable even in the most chaotic of circumstances.

You have to see and smell and feel the circumstances of people to really understand them.

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

Your circumstances are 100% your fault.
