For a man to conquer himself is the noblest of all victories.

If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you’re allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind.

Accept – then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.

He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.

Victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan.
