If You Wish To Be Good, First

To Pay Homage To Beauty Is To Admire Nature; To Admire Nature Is To Worship God

Be Not Diverted From Your Duty By Any Idle Reflections The Silly World May Make Upon You, For Their Censures Are Not In Your Power And Should Not Be At All Your Concerns.

Men Are Disturbed Not By The Things That Happen, But By Their Opinion Of The Things That Happen.

Remember That You Ought To Behave In Life As You Would At A Banquet. As Something Is Being Passed Around It Comes To You; Stretch Out Your Hand, Take A Portion Of It Politely. It Passes On; Do Not Detain It. Or It Has Not Come To You Yet; Do Not Project Your Desire To Meet It, But Wait Until It Comes In Front Of You. So Act Toward Children, So Toward A Wife, So Toward Office, So Toward Wealth.

Don't Be Prideful With Any Excellence That Is Not Your Own
