“He who thinks twice before saying nothing is wise.”
Before we speak, if we can think thoroughly, we shall have less chance to cause trouble. We get trouble mostly due to our careless talk and offend people unknowingly.
“He who lives without self-control is exposed to grievous ruin.”
If we live our life without self-control, we shall meet many kinds of troubles, one way or another. People, who have such character, shall not live amicably among the human group.
“A man’s conquest of himself dwarfs the ascent of Everest.”
-Eli J. Schiefer
This means that if we can conquer our own character which is the same as we conquer Everest. It is not easy to do so, but if we can do it, we shall have a very happy life in our whole life.
“You can’t control the length of your life, but you can control its width and depth. You can’t control the contour of your face, but you can control your expressionists You cannot control weather, but you can control the atmosphere of your mind.”
From above, we understand that we cannot control things beyond our power, but we must control things within our ability.
