Happiness is no other than soundness and perfection of mind.

The intelligence of the universe is social.

Never value anything as profitable to thyself which shall compel thee to break thy promise, to lose thy self-respect, to hate any man, to suspect, to curse, to act the hypocrite, to desire anything which needs walls and curtains.

That which is really beautiful has no need of anything; not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.

Every moment think steadily as a Roman and a man to do what thou hast in hand with perfect and simple dignity, and feeling of affection, and freedom, and justice; and to give thyself relief from all other thoughts. And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last, laying aside all carelessness and passionate aversion from the commands of reason, and all hypocrisy, and self-love, and discontent with the portion which has been given to thee.

...the sole thing of which any man can be deprived is the present; since this is all he owns, and nobody can lose what is not his.

Live each day as if it be your last.
