Difficulty Shows What Men Are.

A Vulgar Man, In Any Ill That Happens To Him, Blames Others; A Novice In Philosophy Blames Himself; And A Philosopher Blames Neither, The One Nor The Other.

God Has Entrusted Me With Myself. No Man Is Free Who Is Not Master Of Himself. A Man Should So Live That His Happiness Shall Depend As Little As Possible On External Things. The World Turns Aside To Let Any Man Pass Who Knows Where He Is Going.

Freedom Is Secured Not By The Fulfillment Of One's Desires, But By The Removal Of Desire.

It Is Better To Advise Than Upbraid, For The One Corrects The Erring; The Other Only Convicts Them.

You Bear God Within You, Poor Wretch, And Know It Not.
