First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Only the educated are free.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?

First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them.

Imagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public.

It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it.

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
