Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
He who eats my bread, does my will.
The one thing worth living for is to keep one's soul pure.
If unwilling to rise in the morning, say to thyself, 'I awake to do the work of a man.'
The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.
Purge your mind of all aimless and idle thoughts, especially those that pry into the affairs of others or wish them ill.
