Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

When you have done a good deed that another has had the benefit of, why do you need a third reward-as fools do-praise for having done well or looking for a favor in return.

There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.

It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.

Each of us needs what nature gives us, when nature gives us.

Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.
