Nature has given to each conscious being every power she possesses, and one of these abilities is this: just as Nature converts and alters every obstacle and opposition, and fits them into their predestined place, making them a part of herself, so too the rational person is able to finesse every obstacle into an opportunity, and to use it for whatever purpose it may suit.

Remember: Matter: how tiny your share of it. Time: how brief and fleeting your allotment of it. Fate: how small a role you play in it.

Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.

All things are in the act of change; thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.

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

Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
