Precious thoughts to cherish
- If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find the truth you will become invincible.
- The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.
- Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
- Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wiseman, his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of his life.
- Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not with insensibility but through greatness of mind.
- Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant.
- The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
