All Fortune Is Good Fortune; For It

It's My Belief That History Is A Wheel. 'inconstancy Is My Very Essence,'? Says The Wheel. Rise Up On My Spokes If You Like But Don't Complain When You're Cast Back Down Into The Depths. Good Times Pass Away, But Then So Do The Bad. Mutability Is Our Tragedy, But It's Also Our Hope. The Worst Of Times, Like The Best, Are Always Passing Away.

Nothing Is Miserable Unless You Think It So.

Love Has Three Kinds Of Origin, Namely: Suffering, Friendship And Love. A Human Love Has A Corporal And Intellectual Origin.

So It Follows That Those Who Have Reason Have Freedom To Will Or Not To Will, Although This Freedom Is Not Equal In All Of Them. [...] Human Souls Are More Free When They Persevere In The Contemplation Of The Mind Of God, Less Free When They Descend To The Corporeal, And Even Less Free When They Are Entirely Imprisoned In Earthly Flesh And Blood.

Nothing Is Miserable Unless You Think It So; And On The Other Hand, Nothing Brings Happiness Unless You Are Content With It.
