The best way to see Faith is to shut the eye of Reason.

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.

If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.

I have no desire to make windows into mens souls

I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

Judge not unless you judge yourself.

What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.

You don't become what you want, you become what you believe

Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.

If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.

The more skilled you are at something, the worse you are at it when showing someone.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it.

Don't take tomorrow to bed with you.

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.
