Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?

When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man's life.

Get rid of the judgement ... get rid of the 'I am hurt,' you are rid of the hurt itself.

Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.

If unwilling to rise in the morning, say to thyself, 'I awake to do the work of a man.'

Observe always that everything is the result of a change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and to make new ones like them.

To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
