Man Is Not Fully Free Unless He

Tentative Efforts Lead To Tentative Outcome.

Do Nothing In A Depressed Mood, Nor As One Afflicted, Nor As Thinking That You Are In Misery, For No One Compels You To That.

In Every Affair Consider What Precedes And What Follows, And Then Undertake It

Any Person Capable Of Angering You Becomes Your Master; He Can Anger You Only When You Permit Yourself To Be Disturbed By Him.

The Two Powers Which In My Opinion Constitute A Wise Man Are Those Of Bearing And Forbearing.
