This Thou Must Always Bear

Never Let The Future Disturb You. You Will Meet It, If You Have To, With The Same Weapons Of Reason Which Today Arm You Against The Present.

Withdraw To The Untroubled Quietude Deep Within The Soul, And Refresh Yourself.

Be Not Careless In Deeds, Nor Confused In Words, Nor Rambling In Thought.

No Form Of Nature Is Inferior To Art; For The Arts Merely Imitate Natural Forms.

If Mind Is Common To Us, Then Also The Reason, Whereby We Are Reasoning Beings, Is Common. If This Be So, Then Also The Reason Which Enjoins What Is To Be Done Or Left Undone Is Common. If This Be So, Law Also Is Common; If This Be So, We Are Citizens; If This Be So, We Are Partakers In One Constitution; If This Be So, The Universe Is A Kind Of Commonwealth.
