"If you set yourself to your present task along the path of true reason, with all determination, vigour, and good will: [...] if you grapple this to you, expecting nothing, shirking nothing, but self-content with each present action taken in accordance with nature and a heroic truthfulness in all that you say and mean - then you will lead a good life. And nobody is able to stop you."
