What will the world be quite overturned when you die?

There is but one way to tranquility of mind and happiness, and that is to account no external things thine own, but to commit all to God.

No one who is in a state of fear or sorrow or tension is free, but whosoever is delivered from sorrows or fears or anxieties is at the same time delivered from servitude.

Appear to know only this--never to fail nor fall.

Whoever wants to be free, therefore, let him not want or avoid anything that is up to others. Otherwise he will necessarily be a slave.

Happiness is an equivalent for all troublesome things.

It were no slight attainment could we merely fulfil what the nature of man implies.
