The greatest fortress is a

mind at peace amidst the

chaos of the world.

If it costs your peace

it is too expensive.

Rest satisfied

with doing well,

and leave others

to talk of you as

they please.

The price of anything is the

amount of life you exchange

for it.

A man settles where

he finds peace, 

not beauty, not money, 

not status, but peace.

Many people think

excitement is happiness...

But when you are excited

you are not peaceful.

True happiness is based on peace.

Peace is not an absent of war,

it is a virtue, a state of mind, a

disposition for benevolence,

confidence, justice.

And all I loved, I loved alone.
