Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.
Don't let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole.
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.
Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within; there lies the power to persuade, there the life, - there, if one must speak out, the real man.
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it - either gratefully better than or bitterly worse than something else that you alone choose.
