No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. No man is free who cannot command himself.
Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.
Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be. Custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.
Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and, in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled, and rejoice for the good.
