If You Would Be Good, First Believe

What Is Learned Without Pleasure Is Forgotten Without Remorse.

It Is Not Things In Themselves Which Trouble Us, But Our Opinions Of Things.

It Were No Slight Attainment Could We Merely Fulfil What The Nature Of Man Implies.

When We Blather About Trivial Things, We Ourselves Become Trivial, For Our Attention Gets Taken Up With Trivialities. You Become What You Give Your Attention To.

And Have You Not Received Faculties Which Will Enable You To Bear All That Happens To You? Have You Not Received Greatness Of Spirit? Have You Not Received Courage? Have You Not Received Endurance?
