Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.

Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.

He who knows himself well is mean and abject in his own sight, and takes no delight in the vain praise of men.

If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.

Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.

Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
