Why do you hunger for length of days? The point of life is to follow reason and the divine spirit and to accept whatever nature sends you. To live in this way is not to fear death, but to hold it in contempt. Death is only a thing of terror for those unable to live in the present. Pass on your way, then, with a smiling face, under the smile of him who bids you go

You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

How soon will time cover all things.

The wrongdoer is often the person who left something undone, rather than the person who has done something

Each of us needs what nature gives us, when nature gives us.

A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.
