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

When pain is unbearable it destroys us; when it does not it is bearable.

And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.

Let thy chief fort and place of defense be a mind free from passions. A stronger place and better fortified than this, hath no man.

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

Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly break. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest.

Leave the wrong done by another where the wrong arose.
