People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.

The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.

Men despise one another and flatter one another; and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.

The memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time.

He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected.

No one can lose either the past or the future - how could anyone be deprived of what he does not possess? ... It is only the present moment of which either stands to be deprived: and if this is all he has, he cannot lose what he does not have.

All things from eternity are of like forms and come round in circle.
