Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.

Observe constantly that all things take place by change.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.

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?

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.
