Give Me By All Means The Shorter

What Disturbs And Alarms Man Are Not The Things, But His Opinions And Fancies About The Things.

Circumstances Don't Make The Man, They Only Reveal Him To Himself.

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?

If You Would Improve, Submit To Be Considered Wihout Sense And Foolish With Respect To Externals. Wish To Be Considered To Know Nothing; And If You Shall Seem To Someone To Be A Person Of Importance, Distrust Yourself.

Ruin And Recovering Are Both From Within.
