What Is Learned Without Pleasure Is Forgotten

It Is The Sign Of A Dull Mind To Dwell Upon The Cares Of The Body, To Prolong Exercise, Eating And Drinking And Other Bodily Functions. These Things Are Best Done By The Way; All Your Attention Must Be Given To The Mind.

Everything Has Two Handles,-one By Which It May Be Borne; Another By Which It Cannot.

Think Of God Oftener Than You Breathe.

Neither The Victories Of The Olympic Games Nor Those Achieved In Battles Make The Man Happy. The Only Victories That Make Him Happy Are Those Achieved Against Himself. Temptations And Tests Are Combats. You Have Beaten One, Two, Many Times; Still Fight. If You Defeat At Last You Will Be Happy Your Entire Life, As If You Have Always Defeated.

It Is The Nature Of The Wise To Resist Pleasures, But The Foolish To Be A Slave To Them.
