Let silence be your general rule; or say only what is necessary and in few words.

Whoever then wishes to be free, let him neither wish for anything nor avoid anything which depends on others: if he does not observe this rule, he must be a slave.

One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent.

What is it that every man seeks? To be secure, to be happy, to do what he pleases without restraint and without compulsion.

When your thoughts, words, and deeds form a seamless fabric, you streamline your efforts and thus eliminate worry and dread.

Only the educated are free.

If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.
