The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.

When you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, remember that your defining characteristic-what defines a human being-is to work with others.

At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that "I am rising for the work of man."

Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?

A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.

When you find an unwillingness to rise early in the morning, endeavor to rouse your faculties, and act up to your kind, and consider that you have to do the business of a man; and that action is both beneficial and the end of your being.

Change your attitude to the things that bother you and you will be aware of them.
