Only The Educated Are Free.

You May Fetter My Leg, But Zeus Himself Cannot Get The Better Of My Free Will.

If You Hear That Someone Is Speaking Ill Of You, Instead Of Trying To Defend Yourself You Should Say: 'he Obviously Does Not Know Me Very Well, Since There Are So Many Other Faults He Could Have Mentioned.'

Bear In Mind That You Should Conduct Yourself In Life As At A Feast.

Fight Against Yourself, Recover Yourself To Decency, To Modesty, To Freedom. And, In The First Place, Condemn Your Actions; But When You Have Condemned Them, Do Not Despair Of Yourself. For Both Ruin And Recovery Are From Within.

Control Thy Passions Lest They Take Vengence On Thee.
