To A Rational Being It Is The Same Thing To Act According To Nature And According To Reason.

Love The Little Trade Which Thou Hast Learned, And Be Content Therewith.

A Lucky Chance Is Constant In Nothing But Inconstancy.

Flinch Not, Neither Give Up Nor Despair, If The Achieving Of Every Act In Accordance With Right Principle Is Not Always Continuous With Thee.

Reflect Frequently Upon The Instability Of Things, And How Very Fast The Scenes Of Nature Are Shifted. Matter Is In Perpetual Flux. Change Is Always And Everywhere At Work; It Strikes Through Causes And Effects, And Leaves Nothing Fixed And Permanent.
