“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.”
“The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.”
“The things you think about determine the quality of your mind.”
“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
“Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.”
“That all is as thinking makes it so – and you control your thinking. So remove your judgements whenever you wish and then there is calm - as the sailor rounding the cape finds smooth water and the welcome of a waveless bay.”
“People are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them.”
“What really frightens and dismays us is not external events themselves, but the way in which we think about them. It is not things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance.”
“Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.”
