If Any Be Unhappy, Let Him Remember

Does A Man Reproach Thee For Being Proud Or Ill-natured, Envious Or Conceited, Ignorant Or Detracting? Consider With Thyself Whether His Reproaches Are True. If They Are Not, Consider That Thou Art Not The Person Whom He Reproaches, But That He Reviles An Imaginary Being, And Perhaps Loves What Thou Really Art, Though He Hates What Thou Appearest To Be.

Fortune Is An Evil Chain To The Body, And Vice To The Soul.

In Order To Please Others, We Loose Our Hold On Our Life's Purpose.

There Is But One Way To Tranquility Of Mind And Happiness, And That Is To Account No External Things Thine Own, But To Commit All To God.

A Soul Which Is Conversant With Virtue Is Like An Ever Flowing Source, For It Is Pure And Tranquil And Potable And Sweet And Communicative (social) And Rich And Harmless And Free From Mischief.
