Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.

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

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

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

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

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

Spiritual leaders, priests and prophets are lamps burning in the dark, seeking meaning for humanity.

The capitalists are the brains of civilization, because they supply the entire fabric of which all education, enlightenment and human progress consists.

Capitalism: let live who can afford to, not simply who wishes to. Life has a price and it belongs only to those who can pay it.

Solve a real problem and the world is yours.

Continuous creation is to be thought of not only as a series of successive acts of creation, but also as the eternal presence of the one creative act.

Do not regret what you have done

The most difficult matter is not so much to change the world as yourself.

A large, branching, aged oak is perhaps the most venerable of all inanimate objects.

If you fear that people will know if you do something bad, then there is something good in bad. If you are eager for people to know when you do something good, then there is something bad in good.
