“When Fate wills that something should come to pass, she sends forth a million of little circumstances to clear and prepare the way.”

We know that Heaven chastens those whom it loves best; being pleased by repeated trials, to make pure spirits more pure.

Vanity is often the unseen spur.

Lucky he who has been educated to bear his fate, whatsoever it may be, by an early example of uprightness, and a childish training in honor.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

Oh, Vanity of vanities! How wayward the decrees of Fate are; How very weak the very wise, How very small the very great are!

Love seems to survive life, and to reach beyond it. I think we take it with us past the grave. Do we not still give it to those who have left us? May we not hope that they feel it for us, and that we shall leave it here in one or two fond bosoms, when we also are gone?

Sir, Respect Your Dinner: idolize it, enjoy it properly. You will be many hours in the week, many weeks in the year, and many years in your life happier if you do.

Alas! we are the sport of destiny.

The great moments of life are but moments like the others. Your doom is spoken in a word or two. A single look from the eyes; a mere pressure of the hand, may decide it; or of the lips though they cannot speak.

Humor is wit and love.

It is comparatively easy to leave a mistress, but very hard to be left by one.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.

Life is a mirror: if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting.

An immense percentage of snobs, I believe, is to be found in every rank of this mortal life.

A fool can no more see his own folly than he can see his ears.

Minimalism is a clear focus on life what matters. 

I don’t know what I need, Maybe just dreams, the right people, and a spirit freed of all the worries, insecurities, and fear. A fulfilled life where visions and hearts are more clear.

Improve your understanding of situations before trying to improve your thoughts because better understanding will provide you with better clarity and better clarity is a way to get better thoughts.

Put yourself first. Unplug and clear your mind.

We go through many things in life just to come back to our clarity.  

You must be clear about what you want in your life if you are serious about unlocking the extraordinary power that lies within you.

Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.

The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
