Always bear this in mind, that very little indeed is necessary for living a happy life.

...the infallible man does not exist.

Thou seest how few be the things, the which if a man has at his command his life flows gently on and is divine.

Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.

What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne.

Take the shortest route. The one that nature planned - to speak and act in the healthiest way. Do that, and be free of pain and stress, free of all calculations and pretension.

It is a sin to persue pleasure as a good and to avoid pain as a evil.
