Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
A man's happiness,-to do the things proper to man.
The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Always take the short cut; and that is the rational one. Therefore say and do everything according to soundest reason.
Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.
