The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.

...the sole thing of which any man can be deprived is the present; since this is all he owns, and nobody can lose what is not his.

The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it - either gratefully better than or bitterly worse than something else that you alone choose.

Short is the little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain.

Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond; so is the whole universe.

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstance revert at once to yourself and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of harmony if you keep going back to it.
