Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.
Freedom is the right to live as we wish.

To accuse others for one’s own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.
First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.
When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.
We are not to give credit to the many, who say that none ought to be educated but the free but rather to the philosophers, who say that the well-educated alone are free.
