The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.
~ Marcus Annaeus Seneca
If we let things terrify us life will not be worth living.
It is not death we fear but the thought of it.
Fortune reveres the brave and overwhelms the cowardly.
There is nothing so bitter that a patient mind cannot find some solace for it.
Wherever there is a human being there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Live for thy neighbor if thou wouldst live for thyself.
Nothing is ours except time.
Add each day something to fortify you against poverty and death.
One should count each day a separate life.
If you wish to fear nothing consider that everything is to be feared.
What you think about yourself is much more important than what others think of you.
There's one blessing only the source and cornerstone of beatitude: confidence in self.
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
For the great benefits of our being- our life health and reason-we look upon ourselves.
When in fear it is safest to force the attack.
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
