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

There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.

For any particular thing, ask: What is it in itself? What is its nature?

Run down the list of those who felt intense anger at something: the most famous, the most unfortunate, the most hated, the most whatever: Where is all that now? Smoke, dust, legend...or not even a legend. Think of all the examples. And how trivial the things we want so passionately are.

...in the ways of Nature there is no evil to be found.

It is man's peculiar duty to love even those who wrong him.

That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.
