If You Wish To Be Good, First

The Materials Are Indifferent, But The Use We Make Of Them Is Not A Matter Of Indifference.

Choose The Life That Is Noblest, For Custom Can Make It Sweet To Thee.

Ask Yourself, "how Are My Thoughts, Words And Deeds Affecting My Friends, My Spouse, My Neighbour, My Child, My Employer, My Subordinates, My Fellow Citizens?"

Against Specious Appearances We Must Set Clear Convictions, Bright And Ready For Use. When Death Appears As An Evil, We Ought Immediately To Remember That Evils Are Things To Be Avoided, But Death Is Inevitable.

Do Not Laugh Much Or Often Or Unrestrainedly.
