When Something Happens, The Only Thing In

Freedom Is Secured Not By The Fulfillment Of One's Desires, But By The Removal Of Desire.

Man Is Troubled Not By Events, But By The Meaning He Gives Them.

If Your Heart Is Quite Set Upon A Crown, Make And Put On One Of Roses, For It Will Make The Prettier Appearance.

Don't Just Say You Have Read Books. Show That Through Them You Have Learned To Think Better, To Be A More Discriminating And Reflective Person. Books Are The Training Weights Of The Mind. They Are Very Helpful, But It Would Be A Bad Mistake To Suppose That One Has Made Progress Simply By Having Internalized Their Contents." Translation By Sharon Lebell

Envy Is The Antagonist Of The Fortunate.
