When you arise in the moring, think of what a precious privelege it is to be alive-- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love

Here is a rule to remember in future, when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not "This is misfortune," but "To bear this worthily is good fortune.

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
