"Don't demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well."

"The greatest good is that which is chosen in spite of fear."

"If your mind is not polluted by these things, you will always be healthy."

"Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well."

"When you are about to say something, ask yourself, 'Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?'"
