Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself. Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on principle.
Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.
Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.
If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.
The toughest question has always been, "How do you get your ideas?" How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!
You should not live one way in private, another in public.
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
