No Man Is Disturbed By Things, But

Does A Man Reproach Thee For Being Proud Or Ill-natured, Envious Or Conceited, Ignorant Or Detracting? Consider With Thyself Whether His Reproaches Are True. If They Are Not, Consider That Thou Art Not The Person Whom He Reproaches, But That He Reviles An Imaginary Being, And Perhaps Loves What Thou Really Art, Though He Hates What Thou Appearest To Be.

Men Are Not Troubled By Things Themselves, But By Their Thoughts About Them

Choose The Life That Is Noblest, For Custom Can Make It Sweet To Thee.

Men Are Not Afraid Of Things, But Of How They View Them.

The Foolish And The Uneducated Have Little Use For Freedom. Only The Educated Are Free.
