No one wearies of benefits received.

To live happily is an inward power of the soul.

Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.

It is man's peculiar duty to love even those who wrong him.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

No one can keep you from living as your nature requires. Nothings can happen to you that is not required by Nature.

There is no man so fortunate that there shall not be by him when he is dying some who are pleased with what is going to happen.
