Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.
To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.
Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.
Accustom yourself not to be disregarding of what someone else has to say: as far as possible enter into the mind of the speaker.
