Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

The wise man belongs to all countries, for the home of a great soul is the whole world.

Everywhere man blames nature and fate yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passion, his mistakes and his weaknesses.

Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds.

The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion.

The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures. Some men are masters of cities, but are enslaved to women.

My enemy is not the man who wrongs me, but the man who means to wrong me.

Happiness does not reside in strength or money; it lies in rightness and many-sidedness.

Do all good things with sincerity, even if nobody appreciates, trust me every kindness are always appreciated by the Lord

It is only kindness and love, which can change the human heart.

And still everything’s the same, even though I did my best to get as far away as I could.
