If you are distressed by anything, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it.
You should banish any thoughts of how you may appear to others.
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
If you're honest and straightforward and mean well, it should show in your eyes. It should be unmistakable.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Let no act be done without purpose.
A man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
A man's life is what his thoughts make of it.
