Since It Is Reason Which Shapes And

By Accepting Life's Limits And Inevitabilities And Working With Them Rather Than Fighting Them, We Become Free.

Make It Your Business To Draw Out The Best In Others By Being An Exemplar Yourself.

Be Free From Grief Not Through Insensibility Like The Irrational Animals, Nor Through Want Of Thought Like The Foolish, But Like A Man Of Virtue By Having Reason As The Consolation Of Grief.

We Can't Control The Impressions Others Form About Us, And The Effort To Do So Only Debases Our Character.

Whoever Wants To Be Free, Therefore, Let Him Not Want Or Avoid Anything That Is Up To Others. Otherwise He Will Necessarily Be A Slave.
