If You Are Distressed By Something, It

Understand However That Every Man Is Worth Just So Much As The Things Are Worth About Which He Busies Himself.

Find Time Still To Be Learning Somewhat Good, And Give Up Being Desultory.

Are You Distracted By Outward Cares? Then Allow Yourself A Space Of Quiet Wherein You Can Add To Your Knowledge Of The Good And Learn To Curb Your Restlessness. Nowhere Can A Man Find A Quieter Or More Untroubled Retreat Than In His Own Soul. Avail Yourself Often, Then, Of This Retirement, And So Continually Renew Yourself.

Take Care That You Entertain No Notions Unsuitable To Virtue And Reasonable Nature.

The Controlling Intelligence Understands Its Own Nature, And What It Does, And Whereon It Works.
