Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.

The memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time.

...if a man comes to his fortieth year, and has any understanding at all, he has virtually seen - thanks to their similarity - all possible happenings, both past and to come.

The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.

That which is really beautiful has no need of anything; not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.

The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
