Materialism

"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.“

Simplicity

"Simplify, simplify.“

Wasting Time

"As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.“

Using Time Wisely

"In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line."

Conforming To Society

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

Choosing Your Own Path

Self-Induced Misery

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

Finding True Happiness

"However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names.“

Prejudices

"It is never too late to give up your prejudices."

Tolerance

Overuse of Technology

“We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us”

Focusing on What is Really Important

Greed for Fame, Money, Love

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

Achieving Truth

Anger, Wrath, Acrimony

"The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.

Kindness

Living For The Future

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads…”

Living For Today

Not Using One’s Intellect; Not Learning

Cynicism / Sophistication

"I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born."

Innocence

Extraversion or the Constant Need to For Companionship

“I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers”
