It Is Not He Who Reviles Or

You Lose Only The Things You Have

You Have Been Given Your Own Work To Do. Get To It Right Now, Do Your Best At It, And Don't Be Concerned With Who Is Watching You. Create Your Own Merit.

Neither Should A Ship Rely On One Small Anchor, Nor Should Life Rest On A Single Hope.

If One Oversteps The Bounds Of Moderation, The Greatest Pleasures Cease To Please.

I Must Die. Must I Then Die Lamenting? I Must Be Put In Chains. Must I Then Also Lament? I Must Go Into Exile. Does Any Man Then Hinder Me From Going With Smiles And Cheerfulness And Contentment?
