Let us not depend upon the world for pleasure.

don't drain the cup of joy in a single sip.

As we can not love what is hateful, let us accustom ourselves neither to think nor to speak of disagreeable things and persons.

Never to blend our pleasure or our pride With sorrow of the meanest thing that feels.

Let us do nothing through passion and ill temper.

Let us not subject our free will to the will of sin;

Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good.

And lead us not into temptation …

Form no covetous desire, so that the demon of greediness may not deceive thee, and the treasure of the world may not be tasteless to thee.

286. Goe not for every griefe to the physitian, nor for every quarrell to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.

[...] do not damage yourselves
By attending only at the hungry altar
Of regret and anger and guilt.

[But] we should not be kowtowing to anybody when it comes to freedom in this country.

Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.

Bear no improper envy, so that thy life may not become tasteless.
