To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief

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.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

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.

Inconveniently, books are all the pages in them, not just the ones you choose to read.

Compassion and kindness it turned out, was good for your health.

Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work.

My father did not teach me how to live. He lived and let me watch him do it.

I am all the ages I've ever been.

When I was a teenager, I was really into hair; I dyed it different colours and had loads of haircuts. I shaved my head when I was 17 - it was pretty radical!

If everything that ever lived is dead, and everything alive is gonna die...where does the sacred part come in?

Forget and forgive. This is not difficult when properly understood.

No one likes anyone in the industry

Money is a tool that can either fix or damage your life. Use it wisely.
