Order thyself so, that thy Soul may always be in good estate; whatsoever become of thy body.

Pythagoras

It is requisite to choose the most excellent life; for custom will make it pleasant. Wealth is an infirm anchor, glory is still more infirm; and in a similar manner, the body, dominion, and honour.

This is the Law of God, that virtue is the only thing that is strong; and that every thing else is a trifle.

Pythagoras
