resilience

"Let opinion be taken away, and no man will think himself wronged."

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters."

"A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials."

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters."

"No one can hurt you without your permission."

"Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly break. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest."

"Do not be disturbed by gloomy thoughts about your whole life. Do not mentally picture all the various troubles which you are fairly sure to encounter during the course of your life, but as each one occurs ask: What is there in this that is unbearable or beyond endurance?"

"Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly crash. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest."

"What is quite unlooked for is more crushing in its effect, and unexpectedness adds to the weight of a disaster."

"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor strengthens the body."

"Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears."

"Choose not to be harmed—and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed—and you haven't been."

"The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands ready and firm for the unforeseen attack."

"Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly break. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest."

"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor strengthens the body."

"What is quite unlooked for is more crushing in its effect, and unexpectedness adds to the weight of a disaster."
