Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.

The ego is not master in its own house.

It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters.

We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.

Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you’ve conquered human nature.

He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.

He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.
