The intelligence of the universe is social.

I seek the truth...it is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance that does harm.

You are a little soul bearing about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say.

Live with the gods. And he does so who constantly shows them that his soul is satisfied with what is assigned to him.

Be satisfied with your business, and learn to love what you were bred to.

God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.

We are born for synergy, just like the feet, just like the hands, just like the eyes, just like the rows of upper and lower teeth. Working against each other is unnatural, and being annoyed and turning one's back is counterproductive.
