Maybe crying is a means of cleaning yourself out emotionally. Or maybe it's your last resort; the only way to express yourself when words fail, the same as when you were a baby and had no words.

What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.

We work to earn our leisure.

God and nature create nothing that does not fulfill a purpose

Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.

Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.

Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
