Don't let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole.
Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.
Men exist for the sake of one another.
You exist but as a part inherent in a greater whole. Do not live as though you had a thousand years before you. The common due impends; while you live, and while you may, be good.
Enter others' minds and let them enter yours.
Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it--turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself, so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal.
