Happiness and personal fulfillment are the natural consequences of doing the right thing.
Wherever any one is against his will, that is to him a prison.
What is yours is to play the assigned part well. But to choose it belongs to someone else
Never look for your work in one place and your progress in another.
Why, do you not know, then, that the origin of all human evils, and of baseness, and cowardice, is not death, but rather the fear of death?
In a word, neither death, nor exile, nor pain, nor anything of this kind is the real cause of our doing or not doing any action, but our inward opinions and principles.
