One of the best ways to elevate your character is to emulate worthy role models

-….when things seem to have reached that stage, merely say “I won’t play any longer”, and take your departure; but if you stay, stop lamenting.

The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other.

Events do not just happen, but arrive by appointment.

When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it; you can either accept it or resent it.

Consider the bigger picture.....think things through and fully commit!

If what charms you is nothing but abstract principles, sit down and turn them over quietly in your mind: but never dub yourself a Philosopher.
