“Let nothing and nobody make you be that which you do not wish to be.”

“Remember it is from the adverse moments that we learn the most, and that the good moments are to be lived to the full; by developing this vision, have no doubt that all the rest – everything that worries you without any reason – are only concepts of the moment, a mere story that will pass in time.”

“To every action there is a reaction; every seed has its fruit; every effort has its benefits. The results are not always seen immediately, and this makes us doubt, but in our inner self we know this is so. Remembering this truth constantly makes us more attentive to everything we do, say or even think.”
