Glory arrives too late when it comes only to one's ashes
The universe is transformation: life is opinion.
All things fade and quickly turn to myth.
Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
If you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable.
Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
