Wealth Is A Weak Anchor, And Glory

The Wise Man Should Be Prepared For Everything That Does Not Lie Within His Control.

Let Not Sleep Fall Upon Thy Eyes Till Thou Has Thrice Reviewed The Transactions Of The Past Day. Where Have I Turned Aside From Rectitude? What Have I Been Doing? What Have I Left Undone, Which I Ought To Have Done?

Alas, What Wickedness To Swallow Flesh Into Our Own Flesh, To Fatten Our Greedy Bodies By Cramming In Other Bodies, To Have One Living Creature Fed By The Death Of Another!

Despise All Those Things Which When Liberated From The Body You Will Not Want; Invoke The Gods To Become Your Helpers.

Concern Should Drive Us Into Action And Not Into A Depression. No Man Is Free Who Cannot Control Himself.
