Virtue Ledger

"Here will I hold. If there's a power above us (and that there is all nature cries aloud through all her works), He must delight in virtue; and that which he delights in must be happy."

我将坚守此地。倘若有一股力量凌驾于我们之上(大自然通过她的一切杰作大声宣告,的确有这样一股力量),他必定喜爱美德;而他所喜爱的,必定幸福。

The Definition

"Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation."

How to practice
  • 1. Stop eating when you feel 80% full, rather than eating until you are completely stuffed.
  • 2. Set a strict limit of one alcoholic or sugary drink per social event before you arrive.
  • 3. When stressed, drink a full glass of water and wait 10 minutes before snacking.
