Everything has two handles,-one by which it may be borne; another by which it cannot.
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.
When you let go of your attention for a little while, do not think you may recover it whenever you please.
A half-hearted spirit has no power. Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Average people enter into their endeavors headlong and without care.
Do not strive for things occurring to occur as you wish, but wish the things occurring as they occur, and you will flow well.
