Since It Is Reason Which Shapes And

Men Are Disturbed Not By The Things That Happen, But By Their Opinion Of The Things That Happen.

Not Things, But Opinions About Things, Trouble Men.

No Man Is Disturbed By Things, But By His Opinion About Things.

If You Want To Improve, Be Content To Be Thought Foolish And Stupid With Regard To External Things. Don't Wish To Be Thought To Know Anything; And Even If You Appear To Be Somebody Important To Others, Distrust Yourself. For, It Is Difficult To Both Keep Your Faculty Of Choice In A State Conformable To Nature, And At The Same Time Acquire External Things. But While You Are Careful About The One, You Must Of Necessity Neglect The Other

To Live A Life Of Virtue, Match Up Your Thoughts, Words, And Deeds.
