Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.

Always take the short cut; and that is the rational one. Therefore say and do everything according to soundest reason.

In man's life, time is but a moment; being, a flux; sense is dim; the material frame corruptible; soul, an eddy of breath; fortune a thing inscrutable, and fame precarious.

Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.
