If a person had delivered up your body to some passer-by, you would certainly be angry. And do you feel no shame in delivering up your own mind to any reviler, to be disconcerted and confounded?

If you wish to live a life free from sorrow, think of what is going to happen as if it had already happened.

Living a good life leads to enduring happiness. Goodness in and of itself is the practice AND the reward.

With ills unending strives the putter off.

It is your own convictions which compels you; that is, choice compels choice.

If you have assumed a character above your strength, you have both acted in this matter in an unbecoming way, and you have neglected that which you might have fulfilled.

Confidence in nonsense is a requirement for the creative process.
