Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.

No form of nature is inferior to art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms.

It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.

If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.

Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web.
