Courage is fear that has said a prayer. Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods. The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
Pain is inevitable. To oppose something is to maintain it. Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings. The greatest mistake you can make is to be continually fearing you will make one. Happiness depends, as Nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose.
