What Thou Avoidest Suffering Thyself Seek Not

Be Not Swept Off Your Feet By The Vividness Of The Impression, But Say, "impression, Wait For Me A Little. Let Me See What You Are And What You Represent. Let Me Try You."

Watch Yourself As You Go About Your Daily Business And Later Reflect On What You Saw, Trying To Identify The Sources Of Distress In Your Life And Thinking About How To Avoid That Distress.

If You Want To Improve, Be Content To Be Thought Foolish And Stupid With Regard To External Things. Don't Wish To Be Thought To Know Anything; And Even If You Appear To Be Somebody Important To Others, Distrust Yourself.

But While You Are Careful About The One, You Must Of Necessity Neglect The Other

To The Rational Being Only The Irrational Is Unendurable, But The Rational Is Endurable.

First Tell Yourself What You Want To Be, Then Do What You Need To Do.
