Lucius Arruntius killed himself, he said, to escape both the future and the past.

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.

Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.

There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.

Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health.

Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out.

The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.

When it comes to life and love, why do we believe our worst reviews?

In calmness of mind is greatness.

Happiness is the only thing one should ever be resigned to.

In any high stress situation you are going to default to your level of training...period.

We are our own aptest deceiver.

I will not be discouraged by failure; I will not be elated by success.

It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.

Every time I am fearful I think to myself, the reason they do this is to discourage me from doing what I do. Hence, if I discontinue my work I will have succumbed to my fears.
