Meditations

"How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the acts which provoke it."

"You have perhaps been driven by your nature toward a higher calling."

"The present moment is ever the same, yet the Now is always new."

"Everything is temporary, from thoughts to things, from beings to this whole world."

"Keep yourself simple, good, pure, serious, free from affectation, a friend to justice."

"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small."

"Somewhere out there is the enemy of my life. For every malevolent force, there exists a virtuous remedy."

"The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away."

"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

"Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight."

"Our life is what our thoughts make it."

"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together."

"You have within you, right now, the strength to move mountains."

"It is not things themselves that trouble people, but their judgments about those things."

"Confine yourself to the present."

"Very little is needed to turn around completely. All that's needed is the courage to live."

"Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one."

"You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think."

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
