It doesn't take much to lose everything, just a little departure from reason

It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance

The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forbearing.

Any one thing in the creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.

Act your part with honor.

Make it your business to draw out the best in others by being an exemplar yourself.

First tell yourself what you want to be, then do what you need to do.
