The only thing in which we can be
said to have any
property are our actions. Our
thoughts may be bad,
yet produce no poison; they may be
good, yet
produce no fruit. Our riches
may be taken from us by
misfortune, our reputation by malice,
our spirits by
calamity, our health by disease, our
friends by death,
but our actions must follow
us beyond the grave.
