Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.
Past and future have no power over you. Just the present - and even that can be minimized.
Do not be ashamed of help.
It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.
Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?
