Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.
People will talk about your disgrace forever. To the honored, dishonor is worse than death.
The mind acts like an enemy for those who do not control it.
Set thy heart upon thy work but never its reward.
Let a man lift himself by his own self alone, let him not lower himself; for this self alone is the friend of oneself and this self alone is the enemy of oneself.
