Persuade Me Or Prove To Me That

Take Care That You Entertain No Notions Unsuitable To Virtue And Reasonable Nature.

To A Rational Being It Is The Same Thing To Act According To Nature And According To Reason.

Everything Is But What We Think It.

The Gods Have Provided Me With Clear And Compelling Signs Of What It Means To Live In Conformity To Nature. They Did Their Part. So Far As Their Gifts, Aid, And Inspiration Are Concerned, Nothing Prevented Me From Following The Path Prescribed By Nature. If From Time To Time I Have Strayed From This Path, The Fault Lies With Me And With My Failure To Heed The Gods' Signs, Or Rather, Their Explicit Instructions.

Remember That The Sole Life Which A Man Can Lose Is That Which He Is Living At The Moment.
