Since we are not entirely free in matters of loving or ceasing to love, lovers have no right to blame each other for fickleness or infidelity.
Persuading yourself is a victory of reason; moving yourself is a sublimation of the soul; conquering yourself is a sign of maturity in life.
Do not be satisfied with petty achievements. Ask yourself: Is this really how my life will end?
Accepting charity is not the character of the strong; only the weak seek the goodwill of others.
Emotions are contagious; they not only affect others but can infect the entire environment. If you let negative emotions dominate you, you place yourself in endless suffering.
The world is inherently beautiful, filled with many people and things that bring joy. Why should we seek trouble for ourselves? While time is still right and we are not yet old, let us live well, treat ourselves with tenderness, and keep sorrow and gloom away. Remember the beautiful times, the loved ones, the many things yet to be done, and the small happinesses others might overlook. As long as we are at peace and happy, that is enough.
If you do not strive, even those who want to help cannot find your hand to pull. Belief is always more valuable than doubt. The most terrifying thing in the world is spending your own time witnessing others' dreams come true. The most tragic thing is not daring to try yourself while mocking those around you who are running for their dreams. The greatest failure in your life is not falling, but never having the courage to realize your dreams.
