You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.

When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

Never categorize yourself, society does that to you, don't do it to yourself.

Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.
