“Of all people only those are at leisure who make time for philosophy, only they truly live. Not
satisfied to merely keep good watch over their own days, they annex every age to their own. All

architects of venerable thoughts were born for us and have designed a way of life for us.”

Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own . . .”

“It is essential for you to remember that the attention you give to any action should be in due proportion to its worth, for then you won’t tire and give up, if you aren’t busying yourself with lesser things beyond what should be allowed.”
