The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.

Everything is but what we think it.

Consider how many do not even know your name, and how many will soon forget it, and how those who now praise you will presently blame you.

Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it.

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

As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: "What is his point of reference here?" But begin with yourself: examine yourself first.

The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.
