Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.

Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, ''This is a misfortune'' but ''To bear this worthily is good fortune.''

To be able to enjoy one's past life is to live twice

All things fade into the storied past, and in a little while are shrouded in oblivion.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.
