121:

Don’t make a great deal over nothing. Just as some people make light of everything, others make a great deal. They talk self-importantly and take things seriously, turning everything into a debate and a mystery. Few annoying matters have to be taken seriously; to do so is a needless undertaking. To take things to heart that you should turn your back on is to go about things the wrong way. Many things that seemed significant were not when left alone, and others that were not became so by having attention paid to them. To put an end to something is simple right at the start, but afterwards, not at all. Often the cure is what causes the illness. To let things be is not the least of life’s rules.
