Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
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.
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, ''This is a misfortune'' but ''To bear this worthily is good fortune.''
