It is not fit that I should give myself pain, for I have never intentionally given pain even to another.
~ Marcus Aurelius
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind.
If something is difficult for you to accomplish, do not then think it impossible for any human being; rather, if it is humanly possible and corresponds to human nature, know that it is attainable by you as well.
Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
