To live a life of virtue, match up your thoughts, words, and deeds.

If you wish to write, write.

And have you not received faculties which will enable you to bear all that happens to you? Have you not received greatness of spirit? Have you not received courage? Have you not received endurance?

Everything has two handles,-one by which it may be borne; another by which it cannot.

No living being is held by anything so strongly as its own needs.

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