I would rather die having

spoken after my manner,

than speak in your manner & live.

from the deepest desire often

comes the deadliest hate.

He is richest who is content with the least,

for content is the wealth of nature

Get not your friends by bare compliments,

but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.

I can't teach anybody anything;

I can only make them think.

Strong minds discuss ideas,

Average minds discuss events,

Weak minds discuss people.

would not be contented with what he would like to have

Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish ir, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear.

Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance because it is all we know. When we first start facing the truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care. Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant.
