Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both.

Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.

From Alexander the Platonic, not frequently nor without necessity to say to any one, or to write in a letter, that I have no leisure; nor continually to excuse the neglect of duties required by our relation to those with whom we live, by alleging urgent occupations.

The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.

Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.

Take full account of what Excellencies you possess, and in gratitude remember how you would hanker after them, if you had them not.

Happiness is no other than soundness and perfection of mind.
