You cannot be lonely if you like the person you are alone with.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

So long as you are secure you will count many friends; if your life becomes clouded you will be alone.

I love people. I love my family, my children… but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your springs that never dry up.

No man is born unto himself alone; who lives unto himself, he lives to none.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.

It’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

He that complies against his will is of his own opinion still.

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that, by stepping aside for a moment, a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever.

In reading lives of great people, I found the first victory won was over themselves.

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

Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.

The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God.

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad.

The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

Any one thing in creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.
