"Canst thou not minister to a mind..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Good reasons must of force give place to better.”

“Is man no more than this? Consider him well. Thou ow'st the worm no silk, the beast no hide, the sheep no wool, the cat no perfume. Here's three on's are sophisticated. Thou art the thing itself; unaccommodated man is no more than such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art.”

“Unquiet meals make ill digestions.”

“The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.”

“If you fill your mind with a beautiful thought, there will be no room in it for an ugly one. - King Amor”

“One of the most effective ways to overcome anxiety is to try to shift the focus of attention away from self and toward others.”

“Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude.”

“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the same well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?”

“I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.”
