Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.

Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of great relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are ONE.

There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.

When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.

For any particular thing, ask: What is it in itself? What is its nature?

The most complete revenge is not to imitate the aggressor.
