Truth isn’t all about what actually happens but more about how what has happened is interpreted.

My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while its on your plate ? that’s my philosophy.

Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

Arriving at one point is the starting point to another.

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.

The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances.

It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis.

Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
