People Are Not Disturbed By Things, But

It Is The Nature Of The Wise To Resist Pleasures, But The Foolish To Be A Slave To Them.

Nature Hath Given Men One Tongue But Two Ears, That We May Hear From Others Twice As Much As We Speak.

In A Word, Neither Death, Nor Exile, Nor Pain, Nor Anything Of This Kind Is The Real Cause Of Our Doing Or Not Doing Any Action, But Our Inward Opinions And Principles.

No Man Is Able To Make Progress When He Is Wavering Between Opposite Things.

Two Principles We Should Always Have Ready — That There Is Nothing Good Or Evil Save In The Will; And That We Are Not To Lead Events, But To Follow Them.
