We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

Have more than you show, Speak less than you know.

With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.

Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.

The way to chastity is not to struggle directly with incontinent thoughts but to avert the thoughts by some imployment, or by reading, or meditating on other things.

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
