Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished.

If thou workest at that which is before thee ... Expecting nothing fearing nothing but satisfied with thy present activity according to Nature and with heroic truth in every word and sound which thou utterest thou wilt live happy. And there is no man who is able to prevent this.

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

Every man is worth just so much as the things about which he busies himself.

He is so rich, he has no room to shit.

Will any man despise me? Let him see to it. But I will see to it that I may not be found doing or saying anything that deserves to be despised.
