The Misfortune Of The Wise Is Better

We Must Consider Both The Ultimate End And All Clear Sensory Evidence, To Which We Refer Our Opinions; For Otherwise Everything Will Be Full Of Uncertainty And Confusion.

The Wealth Required By Nature Is Limited And Is Easy To Procure; But The Wealth Required By Vain Ideals Extends To Infinity.

Men, Believing In Myths, Will Always Fear Something Terrible, Everlasting Punishment As Certain Or Probable . . . Men Base All These Fears Not On Mature Opinions, But On Irrational Fancies, That They Are More Disturbed By Fear Of The Unknown Than By Facing Facts. Peace Of Mind Lies In Being Delivered From All These Fears.

A Beneficent Person Is Like A Fountain Watering The Earth, And Spreading Fertility; It Is, Therefore, More Delightful To Give Than To Receive.
