If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit; give it nothing which may tend to its increase. At first, keep quiet and count the days when you were not angry: "I used to be angry every day, then every other day: next, every two, then every three days!" and if you succeed in passing thirty days, sacrifice to the gods in thanksgiving.

What thou avoidest suffering thyself seek not to impose on others.

Authentic happiness is always independent of external conditions.

To pay homage to beauty is to admire Nature; to admire Nature is to worship God

Preach not to others what they should eat, but eat as becomes you and be silent.

No one who is in a state of fear or sorrow or tension is free, but whosoever is delivered from sorrows or fears or anxieties is at the same time delivered from servitude.

Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.
