Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.

Act well your given part; the choice rests not with you.

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

Not things, but opinions about things, trouble men.

If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
