Dig inside. Inside is the fountain of good, and it will forever flow, if you will forever dig.

Take me and cast me where you will; I shall still be possessor of the divinity within me, serene and content.

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.

Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

Death and life, success and failure, pain and pleasure, wealth and poverty, all these happen to good and bad alike, and they are neither noble nor shameful - and hence neither good nor bad.

The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.

A man's happiness,-to do the things proper to man.
