Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.
How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.
Look deeply. Don't miss the inherent quality and value of everything.
How many together with whom I came into the world are already gone out of it.
Nothing is evil which is according to nature.
Be cheerful, also, and seek not external help, nor the peace which others give. A man must stand straight, and not be kept straight by others.
