A Man Is His Own

The Happy Man . . . Will Be Always Or At Least Most Often Employed In Doing And Contemplating The Things That Are In Conformity With Virtue. And He Will Bear Changes Of Fortunes Most Nobly, And With Perfect Propriety In Every Way.

Bad People...are In Conflict With Themselves; They Desire One Thing And Will Another, Like The Incontinent Who Choose Harmful Pleasures Instead Of What They Themselves Believe To Be Good.

The Greatest Crimes Are Caused By Surfeit, Not By Want.

The Guest Will Judge Better Of A Feast Than The Cook

So It Is Clear That The Search For What Is Just Is A Search For The Mean; For The Law Is The Mean.
