If you wish to live a life free from sorrow, think of what is going to happen as if it had already happened.
To get or not to get what we desire can be equally disappointing.
Fortify yourself with contentment, for this is an impregnable fortress.
The foolish and the uneducated have little use for freedom. Only the educated are free.
Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power and should not be at all your concerns.
