True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.

I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?

Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.

God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.
