"To live happily is an inward power of the soul, and is not to be sought for from external things."

"The present is the only thing of which a man can be deprived, if it is true that this is the only thing which he possesses, and that a man cannot lose a thing if he has it not."

"If you are pained by any external thing, it is not the thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. And it is in your power to wipe out this judgment now."

"How many have been afraid of death and yet have died laughing?"

"Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig."
