On The Occasion Of Every Accident That

Do Not Strive For Things Occurring To Occur As You Wish, But Wish The Things Occurring As They Occur, And You Will Flow Well.

Freedom Is Secured Not By The Fulfillment Of One's Desires, But By The Removal Of Desire.

We Are Not To Lead Events, But To Follow Them.

Don't Just Say You Have Read Books. Show That Through Them You Have Learned To Think Better, To Be A More Discriminating And Reflective Person. Books Are The Training Weights Of The Mind. They Are Very Helpful, But It Would Be A Bad Mistake To Suppose That One Has Made Progress Simply By Having Internalized Their Contents." Translation By Sharon Lebell

We Should Not Moor A Ship With One Anchor, Or Our Life With One Hope.
