The Art Of Living Is More Like

Vex Not Thy Spirit At The Course Of Things, They Heed Not Thy Vexations

The Best Way Of Avenging Thyself Is Not To Become Like The Wrong-doer.

The Cucumber Is Bitter? Then Throw It Out. There Are Brambles In The Path? Then Go Around Them. That's All You Need To Know. Nothing More. Don't Demand To Know "why Such Things Exist." Anyone Who Understands The World Will Laugh At You, Just As A Carpenter Would If You Seemed Shocked At Finding Sawdust In His Workshop, Or A Shoemaker At Scraps Of Leather Left Over From Work.

Look Deep Into The Hearts Of Men, And See What Delights And Disgusts The Wise.

Leave Other People's Mistakes Where They Lie.
