Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
