Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.

How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself.

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Every night before going to sleep, we must ask ourselves:

What weakness did I overcome today?

If you are depressed, you are living in the past.

If you are anxious, you are living in the future.

If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.

Close some doors today.

Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.

Remember, there are no real failures in life, only results.

There are no true tragedies, only lessons.

And there are no problems, only opportunities waiting to be recognized as solutions by the person of wisdom.

As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

If you are good for others, you are the best for yourself.

We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.

If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.

It is our mind -our way of thinking- that creates our happiness or misery, our fulfillment or dissatisfaction.

He was ignorant, he did not understand that the well-being of everybody was also his.

To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.
