If by forsaking a small pleasure one finds a great joy, he who is wise will look to the greater and leave what is less.
He who seeks happiness for himself by making others unhappy is bound in the chains of hate and from those he cannot be free.
He who can be alone and rest alone and is never weary of his great work, he can live in joy, when master of himself, by the edge of the forest of desires.
