The man who doesn't know what the universe is doesn't know where he lives.

There is no man so fortunate that there shall not be by him when he is dying some who are pleased with what is going to happen.

The soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there - if he will - he can also live well.

Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.

It is possible to depart from life at this moment. Have this thought in mind whenever you act, speak, or think.

Reflect often upon the rapidity with which all existing things, or things coming into existence, sweep past us and are carried away.

Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.
