Nature Insists On Whatever Benefits The Whole.

There Is No Misfortune, But To Bear It Nobly Is Good Fortune.

Blot Out Vain Pomp; Check Impulse; Quench Appetite; Keep Reason Under Its Own Control.

I Am An Old Man And Have Had Many Worries, But Most Have Never Come To Pass.

Every Man's Life Lies Within The Present; For The Past Is Spent And Done With, And The Future Is Uncertain.

He Who Follows Reason In All Things Is Both Tranquil And Active At The Same Time, And Also Cheerful And Collected.
