Never regret your past. Rather, embrace it as the teacher that it is.
A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.
If tomorrow wasn’t promised, what would you give for today?
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.
No man is rich enough to buy back his past.
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.
It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.
A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.
What good shall I do this day?
Tell your story with your whole heart.
People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.
