Caution is crediting, and reserve in speaking, and in revealing one's self to but very few, are the best securities both of a good understanding with the world, and of the inward peace of our own minds.

Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself.

Let not therefore thy heart be troubled, neither let it fear. Trust in me, and put thy confidence in my mercy. When thou thinkest thyself farthest off from me, oftentimes I am nearest unto thee.

Thou oughtest not to judge according to present feeling; nor so to take any grief, or give thyself over to it.
