Meditations

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together.

You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly.

If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.

If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change.
