Remember that even if you were to live for three thousand years, or thirty thousand, you could not lose any other life than the one you have, and there will be no other life after it. So the longest and the shortest lives are the same. The present moment is shared by all living creatures, but the time that is past is gone forever. No one can lose the past or the future, for if they don't belong to you, how can they be taken from you?

No one wearies of benefits received.

Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.

Life is a campaign, a brief staying in a strange region.

Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception

If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.

Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.
