I was not born to share the hate, but love.
If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free.
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
Is anyone in all the world safe from unhappiness?
Heap up great wealth in your house, if you wish, and live as a tyrant, but, if the enjoyment of these things be lacking, I would not buy the rest for the shadow of smoke as against happiness.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
