Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look Picture Quote #1

Consider how many do not even know your name, and how many will soon forget it, and how those who now praise you will presently blame you Picture Quote #1

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own Picture Quote #1

Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible; life in a palace is possible; therefore even in a palace a right life is possible Picture Quote #1

Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens; but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all Picture Quote #1

Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear? Picture Quote #1

To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions Picture Quote #1

Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed Picture Quote #1

The ruling power within, when it is in its natural state, is so related to outer circumstances that it easily changes to accord with what can be done and what is given it to do Picture Quote #1

Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing Picture Quote #1

Search men’s governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to Picture Quote #1
