Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about. If it is good to say or do something, then it is even better to be criticized for having said or done it.

Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go.

Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

Consider when thou art much vexed or grieved, that man's life is only a moment, and after a short time we are all laid out dead.

It is not the body, nor the personality that is the true self. The true self is eternal. Even on the point of death we can say to ourselves, "my true self is free. I cannot be contained."

Do not be ashamed of help.

Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
