"Remember that if you are doing something for your own good, you must not be ashamed of it, even if the mob is going to misinterpret it."

"If someone is able to make you angry, then he is your master."

"If you always remember that God stands by you, and inspects your acts, whether in soul or body, you will not err either in your prayers or in your acts."

"Fortify yourself with contentment, for this is an impregnable fortress."

"Do not seek to have everything that happens happen as you wish, but wish for everything to happen as it actually does happen, and your life will be serene."
