Pensiamento - Chapter 13

Refrain from Defending your Reputation or Intentions
So if anyone should tell you that a particular person has spoken critically of you, don't bother with excuses of defenses. Just smile and reply, 'I guess that person doesn't know about my other faults. Otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned only these'.

Pensiamento - Chapter 12

Pay No Attention to Things That Don't Concern You
Don't be concerned with other people's impression of you.
They are dazzled and deluded by appearences.
Stick with your purpose.
This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.
Focus not on what other people does,
but on keeping to your higher purpose.
Your own purpose should seek harmony with nature itself.
Let other people behaves as they well-
that is not within your control anyway, and thus is of no concern to you.
