When you have been compelled by circumstances to be disturbed in any manner, quickly return to yourself, and do not continue out of tune longer than the compulsion lasts. You will have increasing control over your own harmony by continually returning to it.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

The intelligence of the universe is social.

Give full attention and devotion to each act.
