00:00 Inwardly, everything should be different, but our outward face should conform with the crowd.

00:08 Anyone who can make you angry becomes your master.

00:16 The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit.

00:23 The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

00:29 When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy,

00:41 to love. You have power over your mind,

00:49 not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength.

00:56 He suffers more than necessary. Who suffers before, it is necessary.

01:06 Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break,

01:13 but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.

01:22 Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.

01:31 People are frugal in guarding their personal property, but as soon as it comes to squandering

01:41 time, they are most wasteful of one thing, in which it is right to be stingy.

01:51 Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life.

01:57 If you really want to escape the things that harass you,

02:04 what you're needing is not to be in a different place, but to be a different person.

02:11 Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are.

02:22 We've been using them not because we needed them, but because we had them.

02:27 If a man knows not which port he sails, no wind is favorable.

02:37 We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

02:48 Here is a rule to remember in future. When anything tempts you to feel bitter,

02:58 not, this is misfortune, but to bear this worthily is good fortune.

03:07 Man conquers the world by conquering himself.

03:15 Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

03:20 The things you think about determine the quality of your mind.

03:28 If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it.

03:42 It is not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

03:50 Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

04:07 Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

04:12 It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more that is poor.

04:21 Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

04:32 Difficulty shows what men are. To be everywhere is to be nowhere.

04:40 Death smiles at us all. All we can do is smile back.

04:50 The more we value things outside our control, the less control we have.

05:01 Nothing endures but change.

05:06 A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values.

05:14 If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

05:27 Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.

05:35 No man was ever wise by chance.

05:41 He who is brave is free.

05:51 Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.

05:57 The willing are led by fate, the reluctant dragged.

06:05 What we do now echoes in eternity.

06:11 While we wait for life, life passes.

06:18 The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.

06:28 It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous

06:36 than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.

06:45 Wealth consists not in having great possessions but in having few wants.

06:52 Be silent for the most part or, if you speak, say only what is necessary in a few words.

07:03 All cruelty springs from weakness.

07:13 It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.

07:17 Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.

07:26 Whatever can happen at any time can happen today.

07:34 Don't explain your philosophy, embody it.

07:41 Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.

07:47 Freedom is secured not by the fulfilling of men's desires but by the removal of desire.

07:59 Circumstances don't make the man, they only reveal him to himself.

08:07 It is not death that a man should fear but he should fear never beginning to live.

08:14 The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

08:27 Humans have come into being as a result of their own desire.

08:35 Humans have come into being for the sake of each other.

08:39 So either teach them or learn to bear them.

08:44 It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character.

08:51 Otherwise it cannot harm you inside or out.

08:57 The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

09:05 Mastery of reading and writing requires a master, still more so life.

09:13 Life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past, neglect the present and fear the future.

09:24 Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.

09:33 Your days are numbered, use them to throw open the windows of your soul to the sun.

09:41 If you do not, the sun will soon set and you with it.

09:48 The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

10:01 Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

10:07 It's not that we have little time but more that we waste a good deal of it.

10:16 Whatever happens at all happens as it should.

10:23 You will find this true if you watch narrowly.

10:27 Our life is what our thoughts make it.

10:34 How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

10:43 He who fears death will never do anything worthy of a man who is alive.

10:55 We live only now, everything else is either past or is unknown.

11:01 Progress is not achieved by luck or accident but by working on yourself daily.

11:11 In banquets remember that you entertain two guests, body and soul, and whatever you shall

11:23 have given to the body you soon eject, but what you shall have given to the soul you keep always.

11:32 No person has the power to have everything they want,

11:39 but it is in their power not to want what they don't have

11:44 and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have.

11:53 If what you have seems insufficient to you, then though you possess the world,

11:59 you will yet be miserable.

12:02 He is the most powerful who has power over himself.

12:10 Difficulty strengthen the mind as labor does the body.

12:21 As is a tale, so is life. Not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

12:28 Life, if well lived, is long enough.

12:35 The best answer to anger is silence, a greed, but nature set a limit on that,

12:45 as it did on eating and drinking.

12:48 Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

12:56 He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee.

13:05 If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself.

13:16 The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

13:23 To wish to be well is a part of becoming well.

13:30 Receive without conceit, release without struggle.

13:42 No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.

13:47 If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer that there must be time.

13:53 Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

13:59 We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

14:10 No man can escape his destiny, the next inquiry being

14:15 how he may best live the time that he has to live.

14:19 The whole future lies in uncertainty. Live immediately.

14:27 Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

14:38 But life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past,

14:42 neglect the present, and fear the future.

14:46 We suffer not from the events in our lives, but from our judgment about them.

14:55 It is our attitude toward events, not events themselves, which we can control.

15:06 Nothing is by its own nature calamitous, even death is terrible only if we fear it.

15:13 If evil be said of thee, and if it be true, correct thyself. If it is a lie, laugh at it.

15:25 Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do.

15:36 Hold to your true aspirations, no matter what is going on around you.

15:40 Confine yourself to the present.

15:46 No man is free who is not a master of himself.

15:53 Very little is needed to make a happy life.

15:59 It is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

16:04 If you live in harmony with nature, you will never be poor.

16:09 If you live according to what others think, you will never be rich.

16:14 Learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference.

16:21 The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach.

16:31 A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

16:39 Man is not worried by real problems, so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.

16:50 Small-minded people blame others.

16:57 Average people blame themselves. The wise see all blame as foolishness.

17:03 Respect the past, be open to the future.

17:10 The life we receive is not short, but we make it so.

17:16 We are not ill-provided, but use what we have wastefully.

17:25 Stay calm and serene, regardless of what life throws at you.

17:34 [END]
