look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up as our world always look do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not but I reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess and then thankfully remember I would crave them if they were not yours the object of life is not to be on the side of the majority but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane here is a rule to remember in future when anything tempts you to feel bitter not this is misfortune but to bear this worthily is good fortune accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny for what could more aptly fit your needs you don't have to turn this into something it doesn't have to upset you to live a good life we all have the potential for it if we learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference [Music] think of yourself as dead you have lived your life now take what's left and live it properly death smiles at us all but all a man can do is

should fear never beginning to live never let the future disturb you you will meet it if you have to with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself in your way of thinking [Music] loss is nothing else but change and change is nature's delight no man's true delight is to do the things he was made for

in doing nothing that we ought to do we are always complaining that our days are few and acting as though there would be no end of them a gem cannot be polished without friction nor a man defected without trials the bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity every night before going to sleep we must ask ourselves what weakness did I overcome today what virtue did i acquire throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one at whatever point you leave life if you leave it in the right way it is home we suffer more often in imagination than in reality you want to live but do you know how to live you are scared of dying but tell me is the kind of life you lead really any different to being dead [Music] the greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach a wise man is contented with his lot whatever it may be man is affected not by events but by the view he takes of them as is a tail so his life not how long it is but how good it is is what matters sometimes even to live is an act of courage if you really want to escape the things that Harris you what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person until we have begun to go without them we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are we've been using them not because we needed them but because we had them he suffers more than necessary who suffers before it is necessary hang on do your youthful enthusiasms you'll be able to use them better when you are older it is not the man who has too little but the man who craves more that is poor if a man knows not to which court he sails no wind is favorable luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity from this instant on

I was training for this fortify yourself with moderation for this is an impenetrable fortress if you want to improve be content to be thought foolish and stupid no great thing is created suddenly any more than a bunch of grapes or a fade if you tell me that you desire a fig I will answer that there must be time let it first blossom then bear fruit then ripen first say to yourself what you would be and then do what you have to do when you are offended at any man's fault turn to yourself and study your own failings then you will forget your anger the trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths remain steadfast and one day you will build something that endures something worthy of your potential the world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going [Music] attach yourself to what is spiritually superior regardless of what other people think or do hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you you may fare to my leg but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will seek not the good in external things seek it in yourselves on the occasion of every accident that befalls you remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use it is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures but the foolish to be a slave to them care take this moment immerse yourself in its particulars respond to this person
