We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If you speak or act with an evil thought, pain follows. If you speak or act with a pure thought, happiness follows, like a shadow that never leaves.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. That’s the mark of a true professional.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
