Short is the little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain.

The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.

Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.

Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.

Does what's happened keep you from acting with justice, generosity, self-control, sanity, prudence, honesty, humility, straightforward ness, and all other qualities that allow a person's nature to fulfill itself? So remember this principle when something threatens to cause you pain: the thing itself was no misfortune at all; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune.

All that is harmony for you, my Universe, is in harmony with me as well. Nothing that comes at the right time for you is too early or too late for me. Everything is fruit to me that your seasons bring, Nature. All things come of you, have their being in you, and return to you.

A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values.
