Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.

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

Observe constantly that all things take place by change.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.

Glory arrives too late when it comes only to one's ashes

Be satisfied with your business, and learn to love what you were bred to.
