The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.

Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.

It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.

It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.

Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.

No one can keep you from living as your nature requires. Nothings can happen to you that is not required by Nature.

Do not expect Plato's ideal republic; be satisfied with even the smallest step forward, and consider this no small achievement.
