Reason is a light that God has kindled in the soul.

We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace.

For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all.

Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.

The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
