Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?

Remember how often you have postponed minding your interest, and let slip those opportunities the gods have given you. It is now high time to consider what sort of world you are part of, and from what kind of governor of it you are descended; that you have a set period assigned you to act in, and unless you improve it to brighten and compose your thoughts, it will quickly run off with you, and be lost beyond recovery.

It were well to die if there be gods, and sad to live if there be none.

Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.

The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.

It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.

Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.
