We Cannot Choose Our External Circumstances, But

Do Not Seek To Bring Things To Pass In Accordance With Your Wishes, But Wish For Them As They Are, And You Will Find Them.

Reason Is Not Measured By Size Or Height, But By Principle.

Fortify Yourself With Contentment, For This Is An Impregnable Fortress.

Think Of God Oftener Than You Breathe.

Remember That You Are An Actor In A Drama Of Such Sort As The Author Chooses: If Short, Then In A Short One; If Long, Then In A Long One. If It Be His Pleasure That You Should Enact A Poor Man, Or A Cripple, Or A Ruler, Or A Private Citizen, See That You Act It Well. For This Is Your Business, To Act Well The Given Part. But To Choose It Belongs To Another.
