Have the wisdom to know what cannot be changed, and the strength to change what can.
Man is not fully free unless he is master of himself.
Act your part with honor.
If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.
If someone speaks badly of you, do not defend yourself against the accusations, but reply; "you obviously don't know about my other vices, otherwise you would have mentioned these as well
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.
