Kindle Notes & Highlights
Inwardly, we ought to be different in all respects, but our exterior should conform to society.
Happy is the man who can make others better, not merely when he is in their company, but even when he is in their thoughts!
"Why of your own accord postpone your real life to the distant future? Shall you wait for some interest to fall due, or for some income on your merchandise, or for a place in the will of some wealthy old man, when you can be rich here and now. Wisdom offers wealth in ready money, and pays it over to those in whose eyes she has made wealth superfluous."
It is indeed foolish to be unhappy now because you may be unhappy at some future time.
Lands and cities are left astern, your faults will follow you whithersoever you travel.
