A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.

While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

Receive without conceit, release without struggle.

Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?

It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men's badness, which is impossible.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
