The cheerful mind perseveres and the strong mind hews its way through a thousand difficulties.

A strong man doesn't have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn't match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world.

Once you have made up your mind, stick to it; there no longer any 'if' or 'but'.

Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.
