Day by day
- Day 022On the three easier responses“I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them.”
- Day 021On looking at what is there“Humility is not a peculiar habit of self-effacement, rather like having an inaudible voice: it is selfless respect for reality and one of the most difficult and central of all virtues.”
- Day 020On where the difficulty accumulates“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.”
- Day 019On the half that gets left out“Everything changes, nothing perishes.”
- Day 018On what refusal to forgive protects“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
- Day 017On the virtue that produces the rest“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
- Day 016On the second half of a proverb“To err is human, to forgive divine.”
- Day 015On a claim made from a sickbed“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”
- Day 014On not assembling the whole thing“Do not disturb yourself by picturing your life as a whole; do not assemble in your mind the many and varied troubles which have come to you in the past and will come again in the future.”
- Day 013On the thing already known“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”
