As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land; but the fame that comes after is oblivion.

Live with the gods. And he does so who constantly shows them that his soul is satisfied with what is assigned to him.

This is moral perfection: to live each day as though it were the last; to be tranquil, sincere, yet not indifferent to one's fate.

Let it judge that nothing is either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man and the good. For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.

What we do in life ripples in eternity.

In reading and writing, you cannot lay down rules until you have learnt to obey them. Much more so in life.

Keep constantly in mind in how many things you yourself have witnessed changes already. The universe is change, life is understanding.
