Kindle Notes & Highlights
To react calmly when wronged or offended; not to hold grudges; to reconcile with others as soon as they show willingness. To read books deeply, not superficially.
Happiness is a byproduct of thinking and acting in ways that are just, generous, resolute, purposeful, and free.
A mind ruled by reason—deliberate, objective, and just, free from prejudice and delusion, unswayed by temptation—is a fortress. Take refuge within its walls and you’ll be safe and free.
How brief the time assigned to our lives, compared to eternity. How minuscule the amount of matter comprising our bodies. How tiny the plot of land we call home, compared to the whole Earth. How meager the portion of universal intelligence we access in our minds. In light of all this smallness, what should we consider important? Only living according to our nature and accepting all that Fate gives us.
