The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Misattributed
You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Misattributed
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Misattributed
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Misattributed
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
