"Just ask yourself if men can succeed in finding happiness through the means that they think will lead them there. If money or honors or any of those things produce a perfect happiness from which nothing is left to be desired, we would admit that some men at least are happy seeking those things...But if they cannot perform as expected and promised and if they still leave one lacking ...isn’t the appearance illusory?"

"I think, that you give wrong names to things, and if you examine carefully what each thing is in itself, then you find that the label is false... Fortune has nothing whatever to do with goodness, since she does not confine herself to good men nor does she make good those who enjoy her favours.”

"[Your maker] appointed men to be the lords of earth and you contrive to reduce yourselves to a base dependency. If a good thing is of greater worth than the person it belongs to, then, when you put all this value on things, you reduce yourself in your own estimation and become, yourself, all but valueless."
