What Thou Avoidest Suffering Thyself

Who Is Not Attracted By Bright And Pleasant Children, To Prattle, To Creep, And To Play With Them?

It Is Better To Die Of Hunger Having Lived Without Grief And Fear, Than To Live With A Troubled Spirit, Amid Abundance

The Key Is To Keep Company Only With People Who Uplift You, Whose Presence Calls Forth Your Best.

A Man That Seeks Truth And Loves It Must Be Reckoned Precious To Any Human Society.

I Must Die. Must I Then Die Lamenting? I Must Be Put In Chains. Must I Then Also Lament? I Must Go Into Exile. Does Any Man Then Hinder Me From Going With Smiles And Cheerfulness And Contentment?
