Life Is A Stranger's Sojourn,

It Is Man's Peculiar Duty To Love Even Those Who Wrong Him.

Though You Break Your Heart, Men Will Go On As Before.

The Universe Is Transformation: Life Is Opinion.

Just Consider, My Friend, Whether A Pure Spirit And Virtue Are Anything Other Than Saving Your Life And Being Saved. Perhaps We Need To Discard The Idea Of Longevity And Cease Loving This Life, Instead Committing These Things To God And, Believing That No One Ever Escapes Destiny, To Consider, With That In Mind, How We May Live The Best Possible Life In The Time That Remains.

If Any Man Despises Me, That Is His Problem. My Only Concern Is Not Doing Or Saying Anything Deserving Of Contempt.
