You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

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

Why should anyone be afraid of change? What can take place without it? What can be more pleasing or more suitable to universal nature? Can you take your bath without the firewood undergoing a change? Can you eat without the food undergoing a change? And can anything useful be done without change? Don't you see that for you to change is just the same, and is equally necessary for universal nature?

Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible; life in a palace is possible; therefore even in a palace a right life is possible.

Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.

All men are made one for another: either then teach them better or bear with them.
