Were I A Nightingale, I Would Act

It Is The Sign Of A Dull Mind To Dwell Upon The Cares Of The Body, To Prolong Exercise, Eating And Drinking And Other Bodily Functions. These Things Are Best Done By The Way; All Your Attention Must Be Given To The Mind.

Seek Not The Good In External Things;seek It In Yourselves.

In Every Affair Consider What Precedes And What Follows, And Then Undertake It

Nothing Is In Reality Either Pleasant Or Unpleasant By Nature But All Things Become So Through Habit

We Must Be Afraid Of Neither Poverty Nor Exile Nor Imprisonment; Of Fear Itself Only Should We Be Afraid.
