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

Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.

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

Gluttony and drunkenness have two evils attendant on them; they make the carcass smart, as well as the pocket.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.

It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.

Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.
