Teacher

What is required is not a lot words, but effectual ones.

See what daily exercise does for one.

How much longer are you going to be a pupil? From now on do some teaching as well.

Away with the world's opinion of you—it's always unsettled and divided.

"The place one's in, though, doesn't make any contribution to peace of mind: it's the spirit that makes everything agreeable to oneself."

Love of bustle is not industry.

No one should feel pride in anything that is not his own.

You want to live—but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying—and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?

How much better to pursue a straight course and eventually reach that destination where the things that are pleasant are the things that are honorable finally become, for you, the same.

You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.
