The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

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

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

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.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

To the beginning of the rest of our lives.- Leo

Politics are not unlike war. Sometimes it is necessary to shoot from the hip.

There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn't see.

Watch where you leave your victims! I stubbed my toe on that.

There are natures that go to the streams of life in great cities as the hart goes to the water brooks.

I was from a small town, and nobody really expects you to leave, especially before you graduate. That doesn't happen.
