If we are not stupid or insincere when we say that the good or ill of man lies within his own will, and that all beside is nothing to us, why are we still troubled?

In the long run, every man will pay the penalty for this own misdeeds.

It is not events that disturb the minds of men, but the view they take of them.

Appear to know only this--never to fail nor fall.

Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.

Contentment comes not so much from great wealth as from few wants.

God has made all men to be happy.
