The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.

We have been born once and there can be no second birth. Fir all eternity we shall no longer be. But you, although you are not master of tomorrow, are postponing your happiness.

We must, therefore, pursue the things that make for happiness, seeing that when happiness is present, we have everything; but when it is absent, we do everything to possess it.

The noble soul occupies itself with wisdom and friendship.

Some men spend their whole life furnishing for themselves the things proper to life without realizing that at our birth each of us was poured a mortal brew to drink.

Live your life without attracting attention.

If death causes you no pain when you're dead, it is foolish to allow the fear of it to cause you pain now.
