Not Things, But Opinions About Things, Trouble

Don't Be Prideful With Any Excellence That Is Not Your Own

What Is It To Be A Philosopher? Is It Not To Be Prepared Against Events?

It Is Not The Events But Our Viewpoint Toward Events That Is The Determining Factor. We Ought To Be More Concerned About Removing Wrong Thoughts From The Mind Than Removing Tumors And Abscesses From The Body.

Embrace Reality. Think About What Delights You - The Small Luxuries On Which You Depend, The People Whom You Cherish Most. But Remember That They Have Their Own Distinct Character, Which Is Quite A Separate Matter From How We Happen To Regard Them.

Do Not Try To Seem Wise To Others.
