Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there’s got to be a way through it.

The obstacle in the path becomes that path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

Actions are right in proportion as they promote happiness, wrong as the produce the reverse.

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

Sorrow prepares you for joy.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.
