If You Want To Improve, Be Content

We Ought To Flee The Friendship Of The Wicked, And The Enmity Of The Good.

Nothing Outside The Will Can Hinder Or Harm The Will; It Can Only Harm Itself. If Then We Accept This, And, When Things Go Amiss, Are Inclined To Blame Ourselves, Remembering That Judgment Alone Can Disturb Our Peace And Constancy, I Swear To You By All The Gods That We Have Made Progress.

When You Have Decided That A Thing Ought To Be Done And Are Doing It, Never Avoid Bein Seen Doing It, Though Many Shall Form An Unfavorable Opinion About It. For If It Is Not Right To Do It, Avoid Doing The Thing; But If It Is Right, Why Are You Afraid Of Those Who Shall Find Fault Wrongly?

Authentic Happiness Is Always Independent Of External Conditions.

Give Me By All Means The Shorter And Nobler Life, Instead Of One That Is Longer But Of Less Account!
