The ruling power within, when it is in its natural state, is so related to outer circumstances that it easily changes to accord with what can be done and what is given it to do.

...in the ways of Nature there is no evil to be found.

He that lives alone lives in danger; society avoids many dangers.

Men despise one another and flatter one another; and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.

The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.

Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it--turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself, so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal.

Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
