Gratitude Is A Virtue That Has Commonly

When We Say That Pleasure Is The End, We Do Not Mean The Pleasure Of The Profligate Or That Which Depends On Physical Enjoyment--as Some Think Who Do Not Understand Our Teachings, Disagree With Them, Or Give Them An Evil Interpretation--but By Pleasure We Mean The State Wherein The Body Is Free From Pain And The Mind From Anxiety.

Men, Believing In Myths, Will Always Fear Something Terrible, Everlasting Punishment As Certain Or Probable . . . Men Base All These Fears Not On Mature Opinions, But On Irrational Fancies, That They Are More Disturbed By Fear Of The Unknown Than By Facing Facts. Peace Of Mind Lies In Being Delivered From All These Fears.

It Is Better For You To Be Free Of Fear Lying Upon A Pallet, Than To Have A Golden Couch And A Rich Table And Be Full Of Trouble.

A Beneficent Person Is Like A Fountain Watering The Earth, And Spreading Fertility; It Is, Therefore, More Delightful To Give Than To Receive.

Natural Wealth Is Limited And Easily Obtained; The Wealth Defined By Vain Fancies Is Always Beyond Reach.
