Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.
Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed. Short, therefore, is man's life, and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells.
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
What is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees.
You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize that, and you ll find strength.
All men are made one for another: either teach them better, or bear with them.
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
Do not assume something is impossible because you find it hard but recognize that if it is humanly possible, you can do it too.
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.
Our life is what our thoughts make of it.
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.
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under your observation in life.
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
It is not death that a man should fear. He should fear never beginning to live.
Look back over the past, with it's changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.
Each day provides its own gifts.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
