How many after being celebrated by fame have been given up to oblivion; and how many who have celebrated the fame of others have long been dead.

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

Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.

The only thing that isn't worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly, And be patience with those who don't.

Regain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.

A man's life is what his thoughts make of it.

To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions.
