It Doesn't Take Much To Lose Everything,

Fortune Is An Evil Chain To The Body, And Vice To The Soul.

Wish That Everything Should Come About Just As It Does.

Neither Should A Ship Rely On One Small Anchor, Nor Should Life Rest On A Single Hope.

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

No Man Is Free Who Is Not Master Of Himself... Is Freedom Anything Else Than The Power Of Living As We Choose?
