In Every Affair Consider What Precedes And

Appearances To The Mind Are Of Four Kinds. Things Either Are What They Appear To Be; Or They Neither Are, Nor Appear To Be; Or They Are, And Do Not Appear To Be; Or They Are Not, And Yet Appear To Be. Rightly To Aim In All These Cases Is The Wise Man's Task.

Freedom Is Not Procured By A Full Enjoyment Of What Is Desired, But By Controlling The Desire.

Fortify Yourself With Contentment, For This Is An Impregnable Fortress.

Consider The Bigger Picture.....think Things Through And Fully Commit!

One That Desires To Excel Should Endeavor In Those Things That Are In Themselves Most Excellent.
