A Ship Should Not Be

We Are Not Disturbed By What Happens To Us, But By Our Thoughts About What Happens To Us.

Be Free From Grief Not Through Insensibility Like The Irrational Animals, Nor Through Want Of Thought Like The Foolish, But Like A Man Of Virtue By Having Reason As The Consolation Of Grief.

We Ought To Flee The Friendship Of The Wicked, And The Enmity Of The Good.

It Is Not My Place In Society That Makes Me Well Off, But My Judgements, And These I Can Carry With Me... These Alone Are My Own And Cannot Be Taken Away.

If One Oversteps The Bounds Of Moderation, The Greatest Pleasures Cease To Please.
