Do Not Act As If

Man Must Be Arched And Buttressed From Within, Else The Temple Wavers To The Dust.

From Alexander The Platonic, Not Frequently Nor Without Necessity To Say To Any One, Or To Write In A Letter, That I Have No Leisure; Nor Continually To Excuse The Neglect Of Duties Required By Our Relation To Those With Whom We Live, By Alleging Urgent Occupations.

Without A Purpose, Nothing Should Be Done.

Things Can Never Touch The Soul, But Stand Inert Outside It, So That Disquiet Can Arise Only From Fancies Within.

Reverence The Gods, And Help Men. Short Is Life.
