Self-love Is Better Than Any

The Highest Point Outward Things Can Bring Unto, Is The Contentment Of The Mind; With Which No Estate Can Be Poor, Without Which All Estates Will Be Miserable.

Misery And Misfortune Is All One; And Of Misfortune Fortune Hath Only The Gift.

Reason! How Many Eyes Hast Thou To See Evils, And How Dim, Nay, Blind, Thou Art In Preventing Them.

For As Much As To Understand And To Be Mighty Are Great Qualities, The Higher That They Be, They Are So Much The Less To Be Esteemed If Goodness Also Abound Not In The Possessor.

He Whom Passion Rules, Is Bent To Meet His Death.
