I cannot change, the courage to change
the things I can, and the wisdom
to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Claim your virtues.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he
stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times
of challenge and controversy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Act with purpose.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to
the whole community and as long as I live,
it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
George Bernard Shaw
Seek out friendships.
Happiness is in your ability to love others.
Leo Tolstoy
Learn to value yourself.
If someone tried to take control of your body and
make you a slave, you would fight for freedom.
Yet how easily you hand over your
mind to anyone who insults you.
When you dwell on their words and
let them dominate your thoughts,
you make them your master.
Epictetus
End in peace.
You are not a drop in the ocean;
You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Rumi
Man conquers the world by conquering himself.
Zeno of Citium
The mind is its own place, and in itself can make
a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
John Milton
