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

Remember that there is a God who desires neither praise nor glory from men created in his image, but rather that they, guided by the understanding given them, should in their actions become like unto him.

Enough of this wretched life and murmuring and apish tricks. Why art thou disturbed? What is there new in this? What unsettles thee? Is it the form of the thing? Look at it. Or is it the matter? Look at it. But besides these there is nothing. Towards the gods, then, now become at last more simple and better. It is the same whether we examine these things for a hundred years or three.

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.

Dress not thy thoughts in too fine a raiment. And be not a man of superfluous words or superfluous deeds.

It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
