"If a man has a bad smell, he is not to blame for it, but his clothes. If a man is ill, he is not to blame for it, but his body. If a man is a fool, he is not to blame for it, but his mind."
"If you are praised by others, do not be puffed up; if you are blamed, do not be cast down."
"Never say about anything, 'I have lost it,' but only 'I have given it back.' Is your child dead? It is given back. Is your wife dead? She is given back. Is your estate taken from you? Is not this also…"
"Freedom and slavery, the one is the name of virtue, and the other of vice, and both are acts of the will."
