When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.

How can a man find a sensible way to live? One way and one only- Philosophy. And my philosophy means keeping that vital spark within you free from damage and degradation, using it to transcend pain and pleasure, doing everything with a purpose, avoiding lies and hypocrisy, not relying on another person's actions or failings. To accept everything that comes, and everything that is given, as coming from that same spiritual source.

People who labor all their lives but have no purpose to direct every thought and impulse toward are wasting their time-even when hard at work.
