What Thou Avoidest Suffering Thyself Seek Not

If You Wish To Be Good, First Believe That You Are Bad.

Let Death And Exile, And All Other Things Which Appear Terrible Be Daily Before Your Eyes, But Chiefly Death, And You Win Never Entertain Any Abject Thought, Nor Too Eagerly Covet Anything.

Nothing Is In Reality Either Pleasant Or Unpleasant By Nature But All Things Become So Through Habit

If You Have Assumed A Character Above Your Strength, You Have Both Acted In This Matter In An Unbecoming Way, And You Have Neglected That Which You Might Have Fulfilled.

Happiness And Freedom Begin With A Clear Understanding Of One Principle: Some Things Are Within Our Control, And Some Things Are Not.
