Comparison is the death of joy.

Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient.

Where there are things to be done the end is not to survey and recognize the various things, but rather to do them.

I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

Judge me by my deeds, though they are few, rather than my words, though they are many.

Christian heroism, and indeed one perhaps sees little enough of that, is to risk unreservedly being oneself, an individual human being, this specific individual human being alone before God, alone in this enormous exertion and this enormous accountability

Someone who really respects himself and is concerned for his own soul is assured of the fact that a person living under his own supervision in the world at large lives in greater austerity and seclusion than a maiden in her lady's bower.

I said "Somebody should do something about that." Then I realized I am somebody.

Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

Life is a mirror, smile at it:-)

Stop comparing yourself to others. You have your own race to run. Finish well.<3
