Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

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

Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil.

It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.

Always run to the short way; and the short way is the natural: accordingly say and do everything in conformity with the soundest reason. For such a purpose frees a man from trouble, and warfare, and all artifice and ostentatious display.

Dig within. There lies the wellspring of good.
