      - [Self-respect]

      - [Exercise]

Let not sleep fall upon thy eyes till thou hast thrice reviewed the transactions of the past day. Where have I turned aside from rectitude? What have I been doing? What have I left undone, which I ought to have done? Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled, and rejoice for the good.
      - [Self-examination]

No man is free who cannot command himself.
      - [Self-control]

There are in woman's eyes two sorts of tears,--the one of grief, the other of deceit.
      - [Women]

      - [Truth]

      - [Truth]

We ought not to quit our post without the permission of Him who commands; the post of man is life.
      - [Suicide]

Wealth is a weak anchor, and glory cannot support a man; this is the law of God, that virtue only is firm, and cannot be shaken by a tempest.
      - [Virtue]

Wisdom thoroughly learned will never be forgotten.
      - [Wisdom]

Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be. Custom will render it easy and agreeable.

In all thou dost first let thy Prayers ascend,
  And to the Gods thy Labours first commend,
    From them implore Success, and hope a prosperous End.
      - Golden Verses (l. 49) [Prayer]
