To Live A Life Of Virtue, You

Even As The Sun Doth Not Wait For Prayers And Incantations To Rise, But Shines Forth And Is Welcomed By All: So Thou Also Wait Not For Clapping Of Hands And Shouts And Praise To Do Thy Duty; Nay, Do Good Of Thine Own Accord, And Thou Wilt Be Loved Like The Sun.

Fortify Yourself With Contentment, For This Is An Impregnable Fortress.

Keep Your Attention Focused Entirely On What Is Truly Your Own Concern, And Be Clear That What Belongs To Others Is Their Business And None Of Yours.

The Key Is To Keep Company Only With People Who Uplift You, Whose Presence Calls Forth Your Best.

Tentative Efforts Lead To Tentative Outcome.
