Don’t make the mistake of underestimating your enemies.

The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts. Marcus Aurelius.

Seek not the favor of the mulititude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them. Immanuel Kant.

It is not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.

Don’t feel the need to vent or complain, no matter how badly you would like to express your feelings. When it comes to speaking of those in power, always think of the consequences. Think about how those around you will perceive what you have to say. Will what you say be of advantage to you or will it hurt you in the end?

Don’t seek to be respected by everyone, rather seek to be worthy of being respected by everyone.

Conduct yourself in a manner that is worthy of respect and don’t worry about what others think.

You can’t do wrong right, but you can do right wrong.

The secret of success is before attempting anything, be very clear about why you are doing it.” If you don’t know your objective or the purpose behind your action, how can you possibly know if your actions are right?

Be careful of your thoughts; they are the beginning of your acts.
