If any man has done wrong, the harm is his own. But perhaps he has not done wrong.

All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.

Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.

Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.

The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.

Look deeply. Don't miss the inherent quality and value of everything.

...if a man comes to his fortieth year, and has any understanding at all, he has virtually seen - thanks to their similarity - all possible happenings, both past and to come.
