Be strict with yourself but least reproachful of others and complaint is kept afar.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

I refuse to repent, and I won't plague myself over what is done and past

You’ve all decided to sacrifice the future to the present. You don’t talk about it. You don’t all get together and say, “Let’s take the easier path. Let’s indulge in whatever the moment might bring. And let’s agree, further, not to call each other on it.

Don't make everyone know about your sadness.

those who have listened do not find it easy to talk; they keep their sorrows and joys to themselves and tell no one.

Don't listen to the malicious comments of those friends who, never taking any risks themselves, can only see other people's failures.

If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.

Don't worry about the past and don't try to figure out the future

look at the world with quiet eyes.

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Let silence be your general rule; or say only what is necessary and in few words.

Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. I'll not willingly offend, nor be easily offended.

Se regarder scrupuleusement soi-même, ne regarder que discrètement les autres.
