Even while a thing is in the act of coming into existence, some part of it has already ceased to be.

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

Each day provides its own gifts.

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

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.

Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse thee, what can these things do to prevent thy mind from remaining pure, wise, sober, just?

And can anything else that is useful be accomplished without change? Do you not see then that for yourself also to change is just the same, and equally necessary for the universal nature?
