Wisdom is avoiding all thoughts that weaken you.

You are the only person who thinks in your mind. You are the power and authority in your world.

He who has so little knowledge of human natures as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

The world is a comedy to those that think, and a tragedy to those that feel.

You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.

An idea, to be suggestive, must come to the individual with the force of revelation.

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

Much of the evil in the world is due to the fact that man in general is hopelessly unconscious.

It is not because men's desires are strong that they act ill; it is because their consciences are weak.

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.

Understanding a question is half an answer.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

Perfect wisdom has four parts; Wisdom, the principle of doing things right. Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private. Fortitude, the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it. Temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

The wise man accepts his pain, endures it, but does not add to it.

In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.

Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.
