    “Getting worked up, getting excited, nervously pacing—these intense, pained, and anxious moments show us at our most futile and servile. Staring at the clock, at the ticker, at the next checkout lane over, at the sky—it’s as if we all belong to a religious cult that believes the gods of fate will only give us what we want if we sacrifice our peace of mind.”

    Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic (Page 43)

      “If a man knows what peace is, and what mind is, he cannot write a book entitled Peace of Mind, because mind is the cause of all unpeace, all restlessness. Peace is when there is no mind.”

      Osho, Courage (Page 45)

        “Success is largely the failures you avoid. Health is the injuries you don’t sustain. Wealth is the purchases you don’t make. Happiness is the objects you don’t desire. Peace of mind is the arguments you don’t engage. Avoid the bad to protect the good.”

        James Clear, Blog

          “A rational person can find peace by cultivating indifference to things outside of their control.”

          Naval Ravikant, Medium

            “Glimpses of love and joy or brief moments of deep peace are possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of thought.  For most people, such gaps happen rarely and only accidentally, in moments when the mind is rendered ‘speechless,’ sometimes triggered by great beauty, extreme physical exertion, or even great danger.  Suddenly, there is inner stillness.  And within that stillness there is a subtle but intense joy, there is love, there is peace.” ~ Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now (Page 29)

            Optimists’ Club Creed

              “Promise yourself…

              To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

              To talk health, happiness, prosperity to every person you meet.

              To make all your friends feel that there is something of value in them.

              To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

              To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect the best.

              To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

              To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

              To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

              To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

              To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit presence of trouble.”
