Conquer yourself rather than the world.

How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.

This is the thing that I was born to do.

Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely.

I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man’s actions are, such must be his spirit.

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